    Oh hai goys!

    Just wondering if anyone has done this before, or knows if it would work?

    I've no garage and living on the top floor of an apartment block, so powering the Kestral is a bit tricky.

    I noticed maplin's have a good price on a 600W inverter for 60euro... Wondering if this would be could enough to power the polisher, if it was connected to a running car's battery?

    With the time it would take to do a proper job the car battery wouldn't last long. It's a bad idea.

    +1 on the bad idea... You'll flatten the battery in minutes

    I'd still reckon there wouldn't be as much juice going in the battery at idle, than a DA would use :D
