Irons On Board

[Regulo]

A quick rule of thumb is a 12 volt battery will need to supply 20 times the amps required at 240 volts. Thus a 750w load at 240v (approx 3 Amps) will draw 60 Amps from your 12v battery. That won't last long!

I suspect the lady of the house may be behind this JM 

I’m the lady of the house and in nearly 40 years of boating I can honestly say I have never used an iron on board. And before any smart so and so quips that it is probably the other half who uses it, he doesn’t know one end of the iron from the other! 😁

thats easy, the end that usually hits you around the head is the hot end.

I would not permit an iron on board. There's a chance the temperature control will be fried by the square frequency wave and a bigger chance the batteries will be toast if you use it.
