    I agree. I made me a big ol’ salad for lunch with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, avocado and sweet onion dressing. Now I’m sleepy.

    One of the bartenders at the brewery by us told us she used $350 of her stimulus money to splurge on a wheel of cheese. It was a pretty funny story.

    Yes, Pure Sine is what you want for running computer electronics

    I've got an isolated second "house" battery this is all hooked up to, so a bit of a different application than yours.
    Here's the diagram I eventually ended up deciding on:

    IMG_20220309_133650.jpg

    Not in my diagram are:
    • 12v grounding block
    • Remote on/off switch for the inverter.
    • Desk-style power grommet (115v & USB).
    • Additional cigarette lighter and USB adapters inside the power cabinet.
    • Bluetooth solar controller dongle for remote management.

    Brand selection is always so controversial... I'm no brand-snob, but I'm a specs-nerd.

    How long are you wanting to use these electronics without the vehicle running?
    Do you know the amp-hour capacity of your current battery? (I assume it's factory)

    Edit: the gauge wire to use depends on a few variables, including the types of components you use, length of run, power consumption expectations, etc...
