I needed a mobile printer to be able to take jobs on the go but didn’t want to connect directly to my car’s battery. So, this is what I did. I’m using a Brother 5200 Dual Tray printer btw. I purchased: a Marine Battery from for $79 to around $99.00. a Battery Box from Amazon for around $12.00 a Pure Sine 2000W 12V from Amazon for around $212.00. a trickle charger to maintain the battery bought at Amazon for $58.00 a Bestek 300-Watt Pure Sine Power inverter Car Adapter DC 12V to AC 110V for around for $49.99. The 2000W inverter is connected to the battery as is the trickle charger. The charger is connected to the 300W invertor. The 300W invertor is connected to the 12V outlet DC Connector (cigarette lighter). All of this is well secured to the car so it will not move in case of impact. I can also use either of those inverters to plug in my Brother ADS-1250W portable scanner for the times I’m unable to scan from the signer’s home. I know that an expense of $430.00 seems high. However, in a matter of just 3 months it has more than paid for itself.
