Specifically any detrimental effects



Any SINE WAVE inverter, and that's most of them, now, even the cheap ones,
will do what you want. Don't overbuy too much power. The idle current on
a huge inverter is much higher than on a 300W unit from WalMart and a waste
of battery power. You pay a little in amp drain from the conversion of
power, any time, but it's not much any more with these little inverters
that barely get warm. A 300W model would do what you want for those loads
with a little overhead to make it last longer. Of course, it's not going
to run the microwave you want later on, but I'd keep the little one still
to run these little loads.

The only detrimental effect is finding a place to hide the snake of wires
it all creates, but that's modern life...(c;
