Thanks for all the info thats alot of help with the stuff you just said but want be no problems with my work info are anything thanks alot have a good day and have fun on home time happy aniversary take care 1badz

If your talking DC, i have a KW T600 and it has 5 dc outlets. Inverter has 3 ac outlets.

Must be more clear

Yes I was asking about DC. Man I need to get with it. If I can't ask an intelligent question I'm in big trouble.

Yes I do. My laptop DC adapter will not charge the battery, it will keep it from running down, I'll need an inverter to do any actual charging.

It's just embarrasing, I should have been more specific when I asked as I am fully aware that you can have both AC and DC when an inverter is involved. I worked in the battery industry for 10 years and I should have known to specify. We sold inverters and batteries and I know more about batteries than anyone should. 2 points if you can give me the fully charged voltage of a regular car battery? Extra credit if you can tell me the discharged voltage as well.

That was real close. Sorry, hit the button before I typed the whole thing. 12.75 is fully charged, 12.25 is discharged. Half a volt difference. 12.6 is almost 50% down. Enough hijacking, I now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.
