Wes Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hi, I would like to get myself a Dual-Action polisher (something like a Meguiars G220), but the trouble I have is that I live in a flat with an underground parking space - which is great for security, but not so good for anything that needs electric as there are no accessible plug sockets. Would it be an option and workable for me to get an inverter, connect it to the battery and run the polisher (and anything I decide to use in future) off this. Obviously the last thing I want to do is anything that may damage the electrics on the car, so wanted your input. I think the G220 is 550W, so if this is an option, what wattage inverter would I need? 550W+? Can I get one that is too high? Any suggestions would be really appreciated. Cheers, Wes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Not sure about an inverter and you battery without the car running. Would have thought a potable geny would be better. Like this link. BUT it's out of stock http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Power+T ... 163/p12867 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 Thanks Chris. Didn't even think about a generator, and that is a lot cheaper than I thought one would be - but as you say, out of stock. I'll have a think and a look round and see what I can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Thanks for that. I will work out where my nearest Netto would be and see if I can get my hands on one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
