You know how it is when building a car. Using the battery to test your electrics usually ends up with the battery becoming a dud before you get near starting the car.
So can you use an inverter of the mains to supply 12V to test the electrical systems?
Initially I'm thinking if I fit a non-standard wiper motor in a bare shell to test the sweep, can I hook an inverter straight to it?
Further along the line, can I plug the inverter into the battery leads when the car is fully wired to test all the secondary electric systems? Will that work? Do I risk damaging electronic boxes?
EDIT : I've just realised an inverter converts DC to AC mostly, so I'm looking for info from you bright sparks on whatever electrical box of tricks does the above.
