Evening all,
I have recently purchased a VW transporter conversion and I'm getting a little confused regarding leisure batteries and inverters. I seem to get mixed answers when searching the Internet.
My camper has 85ah / 12v leisure battery and I am being told that when I'm off the grid I would need a converter to use the battery for anything. However surely if the appliances that I would like to use e.g phone charger or a 12v portable fridge which runs off 12v would be fine to plug directly into the leisure battery (obviously would have to be careful not to drain the battery).
Please could I get some thoughts.
Thanks
Simon
