L405 inverter install

Hello All,

I have a 1500 watt pure sine wave inverter i use to charge RC cars / boats Lipo batteries,

Currently in the back of the defender but would like to wire it in for a upcoming trip to Germany,

Anybody done it? tips tricks?

Preferably would wire it into the rear, could run a cable direct from Battery but is there a better option?

A much better alternative is to use a 12v charger for these batteries.

Chargers such as this one will be way more efficient than using an inverter https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/294676/ BMW i3 Electric Car

If you're going to do it, then depending on the size of it, there may be an obvious location -

Im charging big packs and lots of them so have quite a bit more powerful chargers than the above, one boat runs

14s2p usually for 3 mins run time. so 14s 10,000mah... I have one on 12s2p (16,000mah)

my charging setup is designed around a 240v input...

Now i know the battery is in the back, very easy install, it will just be a temp thing so it will be case of running two cables and leaving it loose in the back.

your main battery is under the spare wheel. ... - .- -.

As Stan says, the main battery is under the compressor, under the spare wheel - I've got an Andersen connecter permanently wired to mine in case I need to connect it to anything.



There are also hard wired charging posts under the bonnet and I've done the same thing there

So if you don't mind a more temporary, plug in solution, then either of those may be an option.
