12 volt telly with built in freeview

Anyone got one? Do they drag the battery down or are they ok?

 

Led is a good idea FC

Don't need a big one, used to looking at laptop sized screens. Yep, 2 leisure batteries powered by a 30 watt solar panel

 

Am I the only one here who doesnt understand any of this?

 

I used to have one in these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351061411337?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT + an omnidirectional amplified aerial both run from dual leisure batteries with onboard charger, but now redundant after introduction of digital TV.

Flippin wonderful they were, we had remote control colour TV whever we went, but the TV was about £200, the aerial over £100 and thas was about 20 years ago.

 

Cool FC

Running a small fridge, laptop and lights ( stoplight car bulb type) Only need about an hour of telly to chill and roll some fags of an evening, it was just that I was going over my bandwidth watching stuff on youtube, so a telly might be a better option, not had one for years, are they still showing Friends?

 

Seen them from £99 upwards, should have enough survey vouchers to get one already

 

Uumm, not strictly correct F.C.
It would take 68 hours to totally drain the battery/ies but in practice the available time would be considerably less because the equipment connected will probably have an operational range of say 10 to 14V.
So as the battery/ies voltage drops to close to 10V, not only will the equipment draw more current (the lower the voltage the higher the current for a given power), but the equipment will start to behave erratically or just switch off.

I would guess (depending on the battery type), that one would not get much more than say 8 to 10 hours at that current draw.

I'm impressed @Zigs, did you use this book?
