Leda power output--SKEW?
HI Can you please tell me what is the leda power output? We do a lot of camping as a family and hubby is wondering what sort of inverter size would we be looking at to run a mini wood lathe. Does anyone know? Have you done this can you share what you have learnt?
thanks Toni

A 1500 Watt inverter running a 700 Watt motor is drawing approximately 70 Amps from your battery. It would flatten the average car battery in about 3/4 Hr,
To supply this amount of power you would have to leave the kids at home and fill the back floor with batteries.
A small generator (about 1KW) is a better way to go if you want to do this but I thought going on holidays was to get away from it all, not take it with you.

haha no it different this was hubbies idea ...not mine but I not going to say no to him. He knows that I love it. The kids like fishing so this way we can both be happy. You see we go camping most weekends to one place or another. This is our family time

What said. The Leda's rated at 750W running, but can easily double that on startup.
Also as said, a small generator would be the go.

(As a sometime camper who does go out there to get it away from it all, can I add in the nicest possible way that generators are an abomination, a pox and a curse? Apologies for OT post.)

I second that, how about powered siteInspiration exists, but it has to find you working. — Pablo Picasso

Or a lot of solar panels?

We were not looking at a generator. We go fishing most time so a powered site is out the question. There no power beside the creeks. Just sandflies. ask my arms this morning..LOL
That why hubby was talking inverters but solar panels may be an option.

Forget the solar panels.
Would cost a fortune. ($7500) to power a lathe.
Require a large space.
Check out the Honda generators that are super silent.
You can hardly hear them.

Agree with David. I also hate generators but can tolerate the new silent ones.
