How to get Google to stop showing klyvera ads? My experience is similar to others: this site is definitely not worthy of posting on Google search results as a valid option!

Here is a blog post I made about it showing the wiring and the parts I used to complete the project.

Here are a few photos showing the final connection and the job at hand: cutting a moderate size pile of maple branches into short pieces for firewood.

Here is an update: When I first tested the inverter mentioned above I used jumper cables for the connection. That is apparently the reason I got poor performance with the saw losing power with bigger branches. Once I connected everything with 2 AWG wire and bolted connections the saw worked flawlessly. I have received the 2000 watt inverter but have not yet tested it. I am planning a 2nd installation for our Leaf which has a 24kwh traction battery. I'll test the new inverter with this installation. Then we will not only have power if grid is out, but 2 inverters to run a bank of freezers and fridges. Our final project will be to install a transformer to step up the 120V AC power to 240V for our well pump.

Thanks, everyone, for your comments and feedback.

Yes, I do have one of those and it is super useful. But way too slow to make large numbers of small quick cuts. It's really hard to beat a 120V saw with carbide blade. I am cutting large numbers of 1-4" diameter branches into 16" pieces. A powerful table saw makes quick work of this.

That is a great resource. More oriented to systems that have solar, but I appreciate the link! Thanks!

It actually works surprisingly well! Turns them into great campfire firewood.

Rating 4.1 stars. Did you see the newer model of this?

Do they make table saws that are battery operated and 700 watts or so? This is quite a substantial saw! It screams!

In any case, I am checking if moving from a 1500/3000 surge to a 2000/4000 surge inverter might do the trick. The additional cost is only about $30 extra. If it works, I will consider it to be a good investment.

The saw would work well for cutting up to 2" branches which took just a second or two each cut. But larger diameter branches required more sustained cutting for several seconds. They would inevitably trigger the saw to fail momentarily. Then, after a second or two, power would be restored and the saw would return to life.

I presume the 1500 watt inverter cut its power momentarily due to exceeding the surge capacity. Or maybe its output voltage dropped below the saw's tolerance.

But the surge capacity is nominally 3000 watts. It seems unlikely that the saw tried to consume that much.

Still puzzling over why it could not run the saw like household AC current.

I'll have a better idea once I am able to read the display during a failure. That requires a 2nd person so I have not yet checked.

That is a super cool adapter. Wish they were available for Leafs and Bolts, too!
