[@jakehogan8790]

Keep up with the good work thanks Scotty

[@scottykilmer]

Congratulations, you have won! Email me at: [e-mail] with your full name and address, so I can mail you this power inverter! And thanks to all entrants, don't worry, there will be another giveaway this Monday!

Jake Hogan, can you update us on this, have you been using this since you won it?

@@scottykilmer Do I wire the inverter to the car battery or my second storage battery

[@rockodonnie]

SAME 😉

[@kennethg9633]

I used to be a truck driver. I used inverters which ran case cooler, lap top, and other small items. All semis have many batteries, designed for people living in their trucks. My point is these inverters use lots of juice from batteries, and will run them down quickly. Just the same as leaving you headlights on without the car running. I would not use these inverters for cars without the engine running the whole time, unless you want a dead battery,

[@johndelloiacono]

I've been binge watching this channel for a week straight! I've since, changed my alternator, brakes, brake master cylinder, and used your screw driver technique for bleeding the brakes because my girlfriend kept letting the pedal up before I could tighten the lines at the master cylinder...."prefer to work alone" should've taken that note! A genuine thanks Scotty!!

[@scottykilmer]

Glad to hear it, thanks for the support👍

[@karimalameddine5092]

John Dello Iacono since your seem like a really sorry person, can we use a similar set up to use say a solar panel to charge you the battery and lessen the load from the engine?

Scotty you need to tell how many amps the inverter generates I figured about 8 amps out of the 1000 watt inverter

I put a 2000 watt inverter in my car to run a room heater to supplement weak factory heat caused by a bad heater core. I attached the inverter to the battery. I am going to put a video of the whole thing on here soon.

[@robertswift6101]

how did it work out for you?

[@Marc816]

@@robertswift6101 The voltage dropped off at idle, but it was OK while going. I am now going to replace the 2000 watt inverter with a 5000 watt inverter. That should end the voltage drop at idle

[@brianpiper3188]

If you want to power computers, it's best to spend more and get a pure sine wave inverter (used in solar power setups). They more closely match household current, unlike modified sine wave inverters.

[@davidjames666]

Scotty, I like your glasses. I used my inverter when we had a black out. I ran an extension cord up the garage, and basement, and to a few lamps in the living room, stairs, and bathroom. I used a few LED bulbs, and we were all very happy for a few nights. I monitored the voltage and when we used the car during the daytime, it charged the battery for that night. Is a very useful device to have.

[@brianpiper3188]

simhopp If Scotty wasn't strictly talking inverters, I would agree with you. Switching from DC to AC and back is inefficient.

[@robertkubrick3738]

Brian Piper- How do you think laptop car chargers work? The power that comes out of the charging brick is probably 19V, the computer works off 12v DC [most].

[@4WinterTires-uv1mr]

Been skimming almost 15 vids and found Scot's vid is by far the best and straight to the point. Thank you!

[@23wisegal]

I happened upon you a few weeks ago while I was researching used cars. I was so surprised at how funny learning can be, you really make me laugh. And what I learned is ......Lexus is top of the line, so I bought a 2010 RX350 with 110 K miles in mint condition for $12,100....I have had it 3 days now and love it more and more every day.....so, since I will miss you now that my research is over, I am going to keep on watching just for the entertainment, but you know I'm always going to learn something. Thanks for your efforts, they make my day!

[@paulscontainersltd.4020]

Thank you so much @Scotty Kilmer! You create a unique bond with automotive intelligence and common sense. So simple and straight to the point. Experience definitely is everything.

Amazing

[@blockpartyvintage1568]

Chevrolet are still good vehicles. I'm a bmw guy, he won't convert me bc if you take care of them they can last just as long as a Toyota, plus I can say the same thing about Toyota as s cotty says about bmw. Hes right, bmw does over engineer thr stuff, not all of the cars thr are some Toyotas that are junk. You have to take his advice with a grain of salt. I do value his expertise though, he knows heaps more about fixing cars than I do...
