Default Power Inverter
Alrighty, I know there's somebody out there with a PS2 in their ride. What size power inverter did you use to run it without problems?

150 should do for PS2 but I have a 300 to power PS2 and 15" screen. I also have a 700 to power the computer...and it takes all of that inverter.

I use a 350w to power my laptop and it works great. I have even used it during a power outage to run a 27in tv .

Man, that must be hard on the battery. What is the average time you guys run stuff without starting the car up to recharge?

Amazing! I'm going to get an Optima Yellow Top Battery. Is that a good choice?
