A couple of things those of you that plan to use your inveeters a lot you may want to consider.
-starting batteries are good for delivering large amounts of current in bursts.they dont do terribly well cycling down which will cause a premature demise.
-you can get about 230ah for around 110$$ for which only 100ah is usable before recharging. rule of thumb is recharge at 50% capacity with the top 10% not renewable for practicable purposes because it takes a long time to bring back up. Of course unless your looking for parking in nyc.
-one way to minimixe the amount of recharging is to run your engine.
if i can be of further help drop me an email

Why do you guys prefer these over a good Honda Generator (oops I said the H word!)
I understand the need if you use a printer in your truck but that only requires a small inverter, I have a lighter adapter for my laptop, but I don't print. I usually know when I'll need power on a job and I just bring the generator.
