Hi all.

Just need an opinion on where to wire up a 600 watt inverter.
I have an 80 series GXL Landcruiser, diesel, and want to hard wire in a 600 watt inverter, mainly to charge up camera, phone, torch, jump start and computer batteries while on the move (but nopt all at once). I will get an auto electrician to do the work as I am a real "technical gelding" on matters electrical.

The car has two batteries installed - the main cranking battery for all the automotive stuff, and the second one is used solely to power the fridge (don't worry if it is an Engel or a Waeco). Battery management is provided by a Pirahna unit.

Should I have the inverter running off the main cranking battery, or the auxiliary (fridge) battery. My only concern is the drain may have some effect on the fridge.

Many thanks for your forthcoming collective pearls of wisdom.
