Van electrics

Hi guys,

Ive put 230v power in the back of my van via a 500w inverter to feed a multi socket lead to charge up drill batteries etc while on the move.

Will the fact that the power comes from a 12v battery to an inverter to a transformer in the battery charger do any harm to the batteries as they are not cheap (makita 18v li-ion).

Any info would be appriciated

Cheers,
Tim

No it will be ok,many firms fit them with no problems the only issue I,ve had was with a cheap inverter that used to cut out when the engine was running.However with a decent inverter you will be ok.

If you wire it up as a TT system you'll be fine.
