[QUOTE="Big Bore, post: 39226, member: 760"] Yep, your available wattage would be based on amp hours translated to Kwh when using batteries. Tom is addressing the idea some people have that they can put a 5000w inverter in their vehicle and expect it to work properly and the fact that voltage is irrelevant, watts are in fact watts. It will work, right up until you drain the batteries down and you are relying on available watts from the alternator. And since most people aren't running deep cycle batteries in their trucks, that wont be long on a full load. And if the alternator is charging the batteries and powering other systems in the car, you wont have anywhere near the max output of that alternator, which BTW is usually rated in cold amps, not hot amps, so you will never be making anywhere near the cold rated amps output. In any event bigger alternator and a battery bank should take care of it [/QUOTE]
