I have been using my 12V-10Amp sockets much too long. I do not believe they will do what I need them to in the future. Here are the things I'm looking to do.
I'd like to run multiple electronics, such as laptops, radar detector, cameras, CB/HAM Radio, strobe/work lights, among other small things. I would also like to power said electronics from a separate battery so I can run them without worry of draining the main battery. I know I'll need an inverter. My question really is, what's the best way to go about this? This is all inside of a Honda Pilot 03.
I know I'll need a second battery, possibly deep cycle. I'd probably want to hook that directly to the main battery in such a manner that It won't drain the main battery, but It'll charge up from it. That's just my complete average joe newb way of thinking. I'm probably wrong. I would appreciate a layman's terms explanation on how i'd want to go about all of this, step by step, possibly with links to good products ect. I need to find a good laptop mount, strobe kit (amber and white). I also am going to replace my front and possibly back shocks. They are in bad repair. I know that's not electrical but I figured I'd throw it in in case anyone knows where I can get some good stuff.
Mainly I'm looking for answers with recommendations for anything you'd think I'd want with STORM CHASING in mind. Thank-you for your patience and time!
