How many watts is that? (110V) My dvd player uses 110V and i want to use it in my car. Would a regular ac/dc converter (cord type) work or would i have to use a larger box type with a fuse and everything? thanx

 

To calculate watts multiply volts X current.
Example 110 volts X 2 amps equals 200 watts.
You need to calculate the wattage of your DVD Player if it isn't on the power requirements label. Once you know the wattage you can now find the right size converter for the DVD Player. If it were me I would probably spring for a fused converter if it is a good DVD player. Hope this helps. This sounds like somrthing you could find on eBAY.

 

I just saw a very nice converter on eBay. Check out

this does not sound good:

Even running at full power, you can expect 3 to 6 hours of solid power from your vehicle's battery before recharging is necessary.

 

I wouldn't worry about that, your motor will be running and your alternator can easily handle that wattage. That is a very worst case number, I would be surprised if your DVD player used 160 watts of power. Also if you seriously get into audio equipment you'll probably be getting an Optima Yellow Top Battery and it wouldn't be a problem at all. That looks like a good price on that converter so if your going to do this it will do the trick. I hope this helps.
