[QUOTE="Occasional_panner, post: 418707, member: 7956"] Just hook that meter between the 12v Batt and the inverter batt input. If the appliance uses 16w and you have a no load draw of 1 A(12w) Then you'll be using 28w+ losses@240 will be around 0.116A Or 2.3A +losses from the 12v battery So running that for 12 hours will draw around 28AH If you go down to max 50% depth of discharge you'll need bare minimum 60AH battery to operate it, but far better off with 100Ah Don't get hung up on the 240v amps, if you are running the inverter from a battery you need to calculate the amps coming from the battery. But since it's already a 12v device just run it on that and you'll use 16w instead of 28w. [/QUOTE]
