You also could install and additional | battery | | in the vehicle and hook it up in parallel so you have more amps to | support. | | You may have to have more then one invertor, however, that is fine also. | As | | long as the printer is not a laser printer it should work. Laser's require | | quite a bit to power them. The tools are available to easily make a mobile | | office with the technology we have now, and it continues to improve and | | competition is keeping the prices realistic. | | | | | To unsubscribe from this list send an email to | pcductape-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field | OR by logging into the Web interface. | To unsubscribe from this list send an email to pcductape-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface.
