    I think that unit comes with both cig. lighter plug and mini jumper cables to go direct off battery. So if you need more than say 300 watts go direct.

    you can plug it in but will still only get like 150-180watts out of it? As for the mini cables they do not reach far at all so the system still isnt a great idea.

    Stuff I have ran off a cig lighter inverter

    A small 13 inch led tv for a very short time
    My 17.4 inch laptop
    Bpap machine
    various chargers

    You wont get a lot more out of it, my laptop even pushed the limits, if the battery was low the inverter couldnt keep up very well in charging while in use

    haha I saw a diy project to make a homemade projector for my note 4 I thought about doing sometime. I saw a driver with a 50inch plasma in his truck once, im thinking really dude? He had it mounted from the end of the top bunk at his feet.
