DC to AC convertor Question....

I got a DC to Ac convertor to run like ps2 or sumthing..
anyway.. my friend said to run the power straight to the battery..

but wouldnt that drain too much power and wont be able to start my car later.. or will the altenator rechange it?
keep in mind that I'll be running a 5'8 tv screen and the convertor..

is there anyother place to wire the 12v power wires?

I thought this is more of a tech issue than a ICE..
sorry if this is in the wrong forum

You can always tap the cigarette lighter/power outlet thing, it is 12V and all you need to do is tap the wire behind it.

Yeah, a switch is a good idea.

before you hook it up, check the current draw of the convertor. if its more than 10 amps, you'll be poppin fuses for the cigarette lighter
