Re: Car Battery Question
Marine batteries are just like car ones...they have two big posts on the top or side. Can't plug anything into them. You'll need to wire up a car power adapter to it.
Just had a thought...why don't you just use a car battery jump starter pack. They are smaller, made for recharging, usually have a handle and a 12V power port built in? The inverter would plug right into the 12V outlet on the pack. They may not give you the runtime of a real car battery but it'll be alot easier to tote/lug. Found one for $120 with 18 Amp-hr of capacity. Other smaller ones also offer USB charging and an air compressor. I think this is the easiest route for you to go. And if you can shove a solar panel in there somewhere, you'd get even more out of it.
Hope this helps!
