Installation of battery and inverter 12 / 230V in an electric car

Good day,

I would need advice on installing a 12V battery and a 12V / 230V converter, this connection will be connected to a PC that will consume approximately 23A to 12V from the supplied battery.

Which inverter would you recommend for this connection?

Which battery would you recommend for this connection?

How to properly ground a 230V part in a car?

Jakou nabíječku baterií byste mi doporučili?


I will not charge the batteries from the car, but as soon as they are discharged below a certain level, they will be charged on 230V chargers in the garage.


Thank you

23A from 12V = ~276W. Then add some headroom.
So minimum 500VA inverter should do the job.
Battery size, don't know how long you want this to work? All day or a few hours?
Grounding, best to follow the wiring diagram for the Transporter van:

If you are installing systems in a vehicle, get a good idea of the technical aspects and watch the video series about the transporter van.
