How to install a car power inverter

If you’re thinking about installing a car power inverter, there are three major considerations to think about before you begin:

Portable device power requirements: The inverter needs to supply enough power for all the devices you want to plug in at once.

Inverter installation locations: You can install inverters most anywhere, but you need to think about accessibility for plugging in devices. How you will connect it to power and ground, and whether it will dissipate the heat that it generates during use safely.

Power inverter wiring issues: You can plug small inverters into a cigarette lighter or accessory socket. Larger inverters must be wired to the battery with a large in-line fuse.

The first and most important consideration is how much power your device requires since that determines the size of the inverter, the installation method, and the installation location.

Where install the car power inverter

The Trunk

If you’re like most car owners, you find yourself in situations where a power inverter is useful in the trunk from time to time. Many vehicles today, however, do not feature inverters in the trunk area. We can custom install an inverter in your trunk so that you have complete access to the rear of the car when you need it. We can help you decide which location in the trunk is best. If you have an SUV, we can place the inverter anywhere in the back of the vehicle.

In a Glove Compartment

The glove compartment is a great out of the way location for a power inverters. The size of the glove compartment will determine the size of the inverter we install. Keep in mind, you often use your glove compartment to store other items, as well, so if you install an inverter, there may not be much space left. We have several sizes of inverters to choose from. You can select the right inverter for your compartment. We can install a car power inverter in your center compartment, if possible.

Place the Inverter Under the Dashboard

The great location for us to install an inverter is directly underneath the dashboard. By installing it under the dash, you have direct access to the inverter from anywhere in the front of the cabin. You can plug your cell phone, laptop, tablet, or other small portable devices directly in the inverter for convenience.

Underneath a Car Seat

A car seat is a great area to install an inverter. It gives you access to plug in any portable devices from almost anywhere in the cabin. It’s a great way to install an inverter without it being out in the open. We can determine if our front seats or back seats are best place to install the inverter. Where we place it depends on the size of the inverter and how much space you have under your seat.

Mounted to the Floorboard

If you decide you want the inverter mounted on the floorboard, we will have to be more strategic in where we place it. Remember, that your floorboard is designed to give you more legroom. Placing the inverter in the middle of the floor will reduce your legroom. We recommend placing somewhere on the floorboard where it will be out of the way.
