I've been a power electronics designer my entire life. My designs are in automobiles, military vehicles, space vehicles and aircraft. I understand electronics.
The biggest problem with installing a tv like Visio in a RV is the shock it is subjected to. The tv isn't designed for that.
As for over-voltaging the tv, the 12V input just powers voltage regulators within the tv. The regulators provide the power to critical circuits.Gdetrailer wrote:
Sorry.. You lose.
Cable shows 2.28 Amps @ 12.4V with my clamp on Amp meter with TV and normal other stuff running, fridge turned off. It showed .68 amps with the inverter and TV turned off,normal parasitic electric stuff that runs all the time, CO meter, etc. Call it 1.6 Amps through the amp meter, power to inverter and TV. If I plug a Kill A Watt in there, it shows the brick pulling 19 to 21 watts at 120V. Or .166 Amps.
I don't know the accuracy of the Kill A Watt at such low amp draws, and if it is correct or not. Don't know the accuracy of the amp meter either when running 0 to 40 amps.
But as near as I can tell, not a lot of room for improvement, without the Inverter. 6w would be 1/2 an amp. Solar sunshine electrical power is free, to recharge, I already have the sunk fixed cost for that.
For now, I am happy.
