    Hi just after some advice as i am new to all of this.
    I currently have a split charge relay with 2 110ah batteries. I am wanting to use a tv

    The tv i have uses 60w, is this too much as i was thinking of buying an led tv that uses about 25w?
    also the tv says 12v on it, i currently use it in the house it is a 19″ lcd which says 12v on it. Do i need an inverter or can i buy a lead that goes into the back of the telly straight to the cig lighter? Thanks.Alex

    Hi

    The easiest option is to buy an 12 – 240 volt inverter. You need one of about 100W. They are cheap, and will allow you to run other items such as phone chargers, etc.

    You could however make a lead to run the TV directly from the batteries, as it’s all 12v. This is a little risky though, as the power will be un-regulated. Lots of people report that this works fine though.
