i think you'll need like 10+ optima batteries in your wagon to hold those 1000whp !!!!!

RIGHT! If I put in 10 Optima batteries in the rear, I'll be that much closer to a 50/50 wt ratio!
Thanks, Dev - you're the best

i bought one of these devices from JC WHITNEY.
it goes between the cig lighter port and your inverter. when the voltage drops down 10.7 volts (iirc), it cuts off the power...
it was like under $20...
another thing is if you do this alot, hardwire a cig port straight from the batt. that circuit goes through a few harnesses/connections. it could drop the voltage.
