·Ok, I've done my best to search through past articles about using the Prius as a power generator..however, I still have a few questiosns...
I have a power 1500 power invertor, which I used in my old car to get AC (a standard household jack) power out of the 12V battery. It connected through the cigarette lighter...can't I just plug this into the two cigarette lighter-esque jacks and get all my power that way? Or, is it really necessary to construct the system mentioned in previous posts?
Whether I have to build the system or not, what will be the max amount of amps/watts/whatevers I can run off of the car? I heard a refrigerator and some lights were once run off the car, but I am curious to know if I can get the car to run one or two oxygen concentrators (I have yet to dig up the power needs on those...but maybe somebody out there knows if they are comparable to a refrigerator).
Thanks! I am sorry for my extreme lack of car knowledge or terminology. I'm about to go out and turn off the seat-belt beep..let's see if I can even handle THAT much technical instruction.
