orbitgrfx 0 Posted June 16, 2011 I'm soon taking my MH871 with me on a road trip. Here's a question to all of you entrepreneurs out there; Can the MH series be run from a DC/AC converter, with an automotive battery? I can not locate the wattage and power requirements, other than amperage. I know printers and computers can be, as I've done it in the past on several occasions. What I'd like to do, is to hit several of the big flea markets along the way, and even do truck lettering at truckstops to help finance my travel expenses. Any thoughts??

BearlyRich 167 Posted June 16, 2011 wattage = amperage X voltage: so take your amperage and multiply it by 120 to get watts. Any inverter that is safe for computers (with enough watts) should run the cutter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted June 16, 2011 you will want a inverter with a pure clean sine wave - not the cheap ones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orbitgrfx 0 Posted June 21, 2011 It looks as if my 800 watt'r will work fine for the little I'll use it under those conditions. I wasn't sure if it would require a full 1500 watts, as most appliances and pwer tools need. Has anyone else used a mobile set-up this way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
