Built this this week....

A few weeks ago, went camping and brought along a deep cycle, inverter, and charger. Camp site didn't have electric, used it to run a fan on the baby while it was really hot.

A friend of mine really liked the idea of a fan in his tent and asked what it would take... so decided to make this:

Contains:
90 ah AGM Deepcycle
15 amp rv charger
300 watt AC Inverter

You plug it in to charge with a standard PC power cable, so no wires stick out.

Amp meter in series, with a volt meter on a momentary switch.

12 volt exhaust fan to cool inverter and charger, holes covered with speaker grills.

If I build another one, I'll pay someone to cover it, I'm not very good an aphulstry.
