    im not sure kung kayanin lahat yan sa isang power inverter lang
    anyway if di naman kayanin you can always buy another, this thing is very handy, from battery charging for camera, celphones, laptops, etc etc

    im using a 150 watts inverter from cdrking also to power my 220V speaker with built amp inside, all i can say is there is no static that i noticed,

    and as mentioned a 12" laptop, so im sure kung laptop plus printer, kayang kaya yan sa 500 watts inverter

    question though why a desktop pc?

    sad to say i have no idea, the most na nagamit ko yun with engine off, eh 30 mins lang bro, and since i have a 3SM battery mas matagal maubos as compare sa 2SM na mostly gamit ng mga sedans.

    if ever di naman kayanin, win win ka pa rn kasi magagamit mo naman inverter sa ibang gadgets.

    and one potential problem with this is mapapadali life ng baterry mo, kasi yung mga battery natin sa car is not intended for deep cycle, meaning yung nakababad sya until maubos karga, so mas ok na tumatakbo yung makina, which in your case totally the opposite you want

    depende sa brand ng inverter mo... yung tig P8000 worth na inverter na 500w malamang kaya yan... pero yung tig P900 worth from CDR King... I doubt.

    I see, nakita ko kasi yung 5000 pesos charger+inverter 500watts.

    based from this site, looks like 0.8 hour lang kaya niya with a motolite gold N70/3SMF

    kung gagawin mong UPS type hindi talaga tatagal... pero if you are going to keep the car running (alternator charging the battery) while the inverter is plugged in... more than that ang number of working hours nun.

    indeed, but the plan was no car around, since the inverter has it's own battery charger too. so I guess this plan is no go.

500 watts car battery power inverter/charger
