Michael K Bergstrom Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) So, built this unit and was wondering if it can power a 200W Jokerbug. I have a 12v deep cycle gel battery that has 77 minutes at a 25amp draw. I wired a 375 watt DC/AC inverter to the battery, (with a 30amp fuse). I powered a 250 watt lowell prolight off it last night for 1 hour. Just wondering if this would drive a 200W joker on an electronic ballast for at least 20 minutes? Any thoughts?

Premium Member Chris Keth Posted December 4, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted December 4, 2008 Sounds reasonable to me. Being an electronic ballast, I don't think you can really harm it by trying. Worst case it just doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael K Bergstrom Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 Worst case it just doesn't work. What would I do without you, Mr. Keth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Lee Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I thought this was a Batman thread. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Ralph Keyser Posted December 4, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted December 4, 2008 You should get 20 minutes out of that without much trouble. If I recall correctly, the 200 Jokers will take DC power directly (saving the inverter), but they need 30v at 14.5 amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
