Usually it's a remote panel for the inverter. It's an option on the cheaper
units, standard on the higher end models.

It's a small 120 Volt AC travel dryer. It works OK for the admiral.
When on the hook all my 120 v receptacles are powered by the 1000 watt inverter

Now take that new hair dryer and connect it to your car battery to see

Due to Peukert’s formula it is going to be a lot more than 15 AH. Maybe as much
as double that.

Battery capacity and wiring to/from the inverter are the only constraints.
Even at a 200 amp draw (1500 watts/115 x 13 + converter loss) the battery usage
is still only 15 amps assuming 5 minutes of usage. Big wires however. Also,
check my math!

A 1875 watt Blow Drier is going to cause a 2000 watt inverter to draw a
sustained 155 amps steadily off your batteries the entire time the blow
drier is running. How much battery capacity do you have onboard?
You'd need about 775 amp hours of battery bank to sustain this for any
length of time.
