I have a 400 Watt invertor in my car to run some equipment. Here is the link for it :-
www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?
ModuleNo=227114
It is a 400W Black and decker invertor
Trouble is, if I turn off my car engine and restart the engine it goes into auto shutdown. The other problem I have is that if I use my laptop PSU with it, it also goes into shutdown.....have I just bought a bad invertor?...could anyone recommend a better more robust one ?
I am only using about 120 Watts in total so I have plenty to spare....it's driving me nuts....I have to sort it out today!!!
Thanks in advance guys
AndyInvertor problem in my car...advice sought please.....?
The trouble is that the voltage level in your car might routinely drop down to 10 volts or so while the engine is cranking. This is normal; it's caused by the high current load on the battery, but it will make your inverter shut down due to low voltage.
The fact is, there might not be a fix. The internal resistance of the battery means that when there's a very high-current load (like the starter) the voltage at the terminals will drop. Just about all inverters have a low-voltage safety shut-down. If you upgrade your battery to a model with a higher CCA rating, it won't drop the voltage as much when you're cranking; but it's hard to say if it will help enough to stop your problem. You should also make sure that your battery terminals are clean and tight, and upgrading the power/ground wiring between the engine block and the battery might help too.Invertor problem in my car...advice sought please.....?
The auto shutdown is to prevent you draining your battery. Are you using the cig lighter? Or is the inverter connected straight to the battery?
Try connecting it straight to the battery, turning off your ignition is maybe triggering the auto shutdown thru the cig lighter socket?
Just read on maplin site that you can only draw 100watts when using it thru the cig lighter socket

Serious problem, please give me advice....please?
My friend has been in this relationship for 6 years now, and she isnt allowed to do anything. I dont talk to her ofter b/c she is always on lockdown by her b/f (who is like 12 yrs older). He has 2 kids (16 %26amp; 10). He doesnt want her to work, just stay home all day, she cant go out with her friends (ME). I have tried and pleaded with her to leave him but she really has NO where else to go. How can I get thru to her, how can I atleast get her out of the house? I worry and think about her all the time. Her b/f is crazy, he checks her phone and emails...doesnt let her do ANYTHING. How can you live like that? She is only 25, she needs to be with her friends. How can I help?Serious problem, please give me advice....please?
Unfortunately, there is nothing that you can do that will work. She has to be the one to realize that she can't or doesn't want to live like that.
Once she has gotten to that point (and mind you, some people take a long time to get there) and asks for your help, then (and only then) you can assist her in getting out and away from him.
Until that time, the best you can do is be there for her when she needs you.Serious problem, please give me advice....please?
by not letting go, keep on her time and time again...maybe give her some breathing room. but you need to pul her out at least for one night and really show her a good time and that there are better treating people out there! sometimes people need to be able to see the other side before their motivated to move to it!
This is the bed she made. Only she can change it, but not before she is ready
watch the movie ';saving silverman';, you will learn what to do from that movie
it sounds to me that she is afraid of this man but if she has no where else to go let her know that you got her back tell her that she is welcome to stay with you or one of your relatives or even with another friend until she is on her own two feet don't let her think that she is alone cause when ppl care about each other it's worth the fight oh if he threats her in any way she has the right to have the police involve don't let her stay there anonther day or night make it clear that she just might not make it out of the relationship without being hurt....
she's the only 1 who can pull herself out of that mess. i mean she might want to live like that. but you can bring her to ur house if she breaks up. good luck!

Family Problem's. I need advice.?
My parents have divorced about a year now. and about 4 months ago my mom met this new guy. The guy is really nice but my mom seems to spend more time with him. And when ever she cant do or find anything she ends up blaming it on me and acuseing me for things i dont even do. Then she turns back to me and says how i dont spend time with her. Im always on the phone with my boyfriend. Well im always on the phone with my boyfriend because shes always spending time with hers .
Now shes calling my boyfriend and telling him to not ever talk to me again and have nothing to do with me.
So i don't know what to do, to make her happy.Family Problem's. I need advice.?
Im sorry to hear all of this, tell your mom.Family Problem's. I need advice.?
Tell her to stay out of your personal life. She has no business interfering with you and your boyfriend.acne

Girl Problem,I really need advice.?
Kaaay,So me%26amp;my bestfriend have been in a fight for more than half the summer,%26amp;I finally had the courage to talk with her.But we can't be friends cause her parents wont ';Allow'; her.): I reaally dunno what to do,Girl Problem,I really need advice.?
Uhmm okay...What was your fight about? And WHY won't her parents allow her to be friends with you?
Maybe you can try proving yourself a better friend to her parents or just talk to your friend through internet.Girl Problem,I really need advice.?
I had that same problem once haha in 9th grade.
Sneak around! Meet up with a huge group of friends %26amp; invite her. You might even want to try talking things over with her parents, and explaining the situation.
HOWEVER, she could just be using that as an excuse not to hang out with you, and she's not over the fight.
Good luck with whatever you end up doing!
I meen if you really wanna be friends with this girl u should actually talk to her parents face to face with your friend there to support you.... so they could see how close you too really are... dont announce to the parents you will be meeting with them... suprise them or sumthing. and make sure your friend is prepared to back you up.....the same way u talked to ur friend to land u bak in good graces you should do so with the parents
same thing with my other friend here %26amp;; guess wat it all started with a
-snowball-??
anywayz..
if her parents wont allow u guys to be friend all becuz the problem is between u and her parents?? then tell them the problem is between each other %26amp;; dont let their fight blind them for their own childs happieness
or if her have sumthing agaisnt u -which would be dumb..- then talk to them..
well what did you do to have them say that? frienship is friendship, parents shouldnt be dividing that. e-mail me with what you did if you want lol. i had the same problem!
internet friends are better. they're like imaginary friends, but they can't really follow you home...
or so you think...
i got in a fight with my bff her parents hated me i told her that better be off not bff anymore and it is
Well, ask your parents if they know anything, Ask her why. I have no idea.
y wont her parents alllow her?
thats messed up, well u both shouldnt care about that if u rly wana b friends
That's a shame, bet you can't wait until you're 18 ;).
I have a few feelings on why parents make decisions like this:
1. Maybe there's more to it, maybe she blamed something on you to her parents and now they think you're a bad influence.
2. Maybe she's too afraid to say that she doesn't want to be friends anymore and is making her Mom the messenger.
3. Parents get over protective, maybe the fact that there is a boy involved at all makes them uneasy and they think you're going to influence their daughter to be sexually active.
4. The parents might actually be immature and taking this personally somehow, maybe she said that you called them a name or something.
5. It's quite possible that the parents just decided to put their foot down about something and even if they realize they're wrong and overreacted they won't admit it and back down.
Maybe you should write a letter right back and apologize for any inconvenience or drama you may have caused and that you sincerely miss your friend and just want to have her back in your life and that nothing this silly and immature will come between you two again.
Good Luck!
