Would I be able to run a 1,500 Watt Space heater in a car with an DC to AC Inverter?
Question by johnson: Would I be able to run a 1,500 Watt Space heater in a car with an DC to AC Inverter?
I am just wondering, I could replace the heater core on my car but it’s winter and i dont have a garage. So i am wondering if I can run my indoor space heater in my car with a power inverter or would 1,500 watts be to much drain on the battery?

Way too much drain. Plug in auto heaters are available cheap, but they don’t put out much heat. It’s the alternator that gets ruined, as well as the battery.

It would be way too much for your electrical system.
