Inverter help please

I can't afford coffee then

you can . . . . just take your 2kv Honda Genny with you.

just realized i have a EU10I (1000w/900W) . . . . .so mine wouldnt run a
Tassimo . . .

Time for an upgrade? . . .

Honda EU22i Genny @ £1000?

Gas hob and a Bialetti is way cheaper, and less likely to set fire to your van.

Been meaning to get one of those for home for years...

IKEA do them.. =)

Had to YouTube how they work...I use my Coffee machine at home, now iv found my new camping buddy

Espresso cups, 50ml..... for my usual morning mug I'd need a 6-cup Bialetti

Dell would you upgrade the cable anyway say 50mm2, is there a danger if I keep what just on the boarder!!??

50 mm cable is a pig to work with, I would double up on 25 mm if poss.

makes some half decent coffee, . . .

Tho after a mug full of esspresso, we decided to water down the next one. =]

Hi Gents thanks so much for all your info, all sorted I’ll update later and see if I’ve done it right.
so last bit, got a GTech multi vacuum that charges at 22v dc apart from using my inverter is there anything else I can use to work off 12 v to step up to 22v?
As before thanks in advance.

 

[Phil_G]

12-24 DC-DC boost converters are readily available and popular with lorry drivers
Otherwise there are 12v cig-lighter PSUs for laptop charging, these are often fixed at 19v but some are variable output
Random example Outtag Mini Car Charger 90W Universal Laptop Power Supply 15V 16V 18.5V 19V 19.5V 20V DC Adapter 5V USB Detachable Cord for HP Dell Toshiba IBM Lenovo Acer Asus Compaq Samsung Sony Notebooks (Upgrade): Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

What @Phil_G said..

There are 12-24 DC-DC boost converters readily available.

But in this instance I'm assuming you are talking about a 22v dc battery for the vacume cleaner .... which will come with it's own 240v smart charger.

So connecting that battery to a 24vdc converter is a bad idea..... it's still best to use the vacumes mains charger and an inverter...

Another option I use is a small 200w plug in inverter..... just for small stuff..... (if your large inverter is not that efficient).

The Bestek modified sine 200w are very good.

As is the 300w pure sine inverter.

You can run them off the 12v socket for loads up to 100w ish..... above that you need to move over to direct wired conection.

 

[Buzznitro]

As always thanks. Best to ask before we blow things up.

 

[Phil_G]

Good point Dell I was thinking it was a separate charger with a 22v PSU input.
Buzz, theres no real disadvantage to using your inverter and the proper mains charger, probably just as efficient as a chinese boost converter anyway....
22v is an unusual value, presumably its a 6S lithium?

 

[Buzznitro]

Thanks I’m on it

@Buzznitro .....If your G-tec battery is 22v,then usually the charger is approx 5volts higher with lower Charging current (in the Milliamps) ....my old dyson charger Outputs 26v for a 21.6v Battery.....as I have successfully charged this off a 12v battery(powered by solar) in the shed by using a...Victron isolated Orion-tr 12/24-5 dc/dc converter! As the output voltage is fully adjustable.so check your chargers voltage Out of curiosity

Agreed and this is what @Phil_G Was hinting at.

But that is an advanced tweek that requires electronics knowledge. And has certain saftey cautions.


So for the general "end user" the nest best advice is to use the supplied 240v charger via a small inverter..

For the electronic enthusiasts the 12/24 dc-dc charger is an interesting project.

All the dyson Plug charger is.....is a voltage supply,I stripped the battery pack down and there’s a mini bms in there to regulate the current!.....hence the low current and long charge time.....but yes @Dellmassive .....obviously do so at your own risk!
