Nice setup, where did you bought the face plate you installed in the cover of the factory jack?
Actually it’s the face plate from the inverter itself. I removed the faceplate and soldered in some longer wires to splice in and extend its reach.
In looking for an inverter for this project I wanted one with:
An on/off switch on the face plate
Small dimensions to fit in the space
Minimal power draw to extend battery life (this one has no need of a cooling fan)
At least 150W to run my laptop (got 175W)
