I have NO understanding of electricity except for - keeping my fingers away from them spark plug wires when the vehicle is running (along with never taking a coat hanger and shaping it into a plug-in and putting it into a electrical outlet again = a burnt thumb I hide from my Dad forever and him wondering why the fuse into the "fuse"box burned up - 8 years old 1962 at the time)
I have small single plug-in invertor - 150 watt continuous/300 watt peak power I got at the local NAPA auto parts store awhile back along with a Black&Decker blender rated at 1.3 Amps which when I did the math 1.3 amps = a 156 watts continuous draw per the chart I found on a invertor website thus leaving enough peak power capacity for surges?. Question: what would be the possibility of running this with a 18 volt Ryobi 4 amp battery instead of the 12 volt car battery hook up?? I know car batteries are rated at 12 volts but can very in voltage up to 14 volts (or more) which makes me wonder if this would be possible. I use the Ryobi 18 volt stuff being they have a 'on the road in-car charger' along with all of the other items I can take camping, radio - lantern - fan - vacuum - impact wrench - air inflator etc. etc. etc.
When camping with the teardrop group, we use the blender for making margrireta's but have a problem when there is no power available. I am hoping this would work when in a pinch - yes, we could use the vehicle battery but if the Ryobi battery would work, this would just make it more versatile by not having to be so close to the vehicle when it's "margrireta time"
