Passenger seat invertor mount?

[Moab]

Want to mount a 5000w invertor under the passenger seat of my 2012 JKU. Invertor dimensions 33 x 15 x 9 cm (approximately 13 x 5.9 x 3.5 inches).

I found this bracket on Amazon.

Seems to have decent reviews. I was going to mount it facing to the rear. So I could hide cables and plug into it from behind the passenger seat. Uses might include charging phones, batteries, laptops etc. And someday maybe a fridge in the back or power bank. So facing rearward seemed like a good idea.

Any advice for those that have mounted invertors?

Looks solid. I like how it is suspended along the seat rails. As long as you have the dimensions worked out, I would do it. Even if you have to mod a little bit. Any reason why you are going with a 5k inverter?

Why 5000w? It was cheap overkill. Lol. I really don't know what I might eventually run. But it was $100. 4000w was $85. And then you go down from there. I figured why not? Every time I tried to figure out what I wanted it just got more complicated. And without having specific devices it's impossible to run the numbers. It's pure sine wave. And seems like it will run anything I have in mind. I think a fridge is maybe the biggest thing I'd ever run. But I'm not even sure about that. Every year it seems like tech changes so much you end up wanting something else the next year.

I ran this question on AI (Grok) and got an amazing response with full in diy advice. And links. AI has so changed how I search the internet for information. It's so powerful. It's like having 5 Harvard professors doing research for you. Except it happens in a matter of seconds. And can be refined with simple language. Any dipshit can ask it a question like your asking some other dipshit friend of yours. Lol. It's crazy how helpful and powerful it is. Google search has literally turned into a mall kiosk of what to buy where. Totally useless.

A pure sine wave inverter of that size for $100 will likely not do what you expect it too. All the specs are good but a quality inverter of that capacity would weigh 100+ pounds and be too big for under the seat. Test it first before you commit to mounting it. Run the fridge for 24hrs, etc. I have not had good luck with low price inverters.

A full size fridge draws (approximately) 1500w at start up, 500w while running and 30w idling.

What did AI say about input? Assuming your battery is a 50ah fla type, how long will your battery last at 50% (2500w @ 120vac) capacity? How deep does AI calculate state of charge?

I have a solar back up system that powers a 4000 watt trace inverter, I have 14 45ah lifepo4 batteries powering it. I can run my house (minus ac) for a few days but it has a huge AH battery bank and 2200 watts (95amp@24vdc) of panels. I’m not sure if a single car battery can power a 5k inverter.

AI has certainly changed things for a lot of people but I’m not sure if AI is on the trail or used the products we are talking about here. AI generates its response to you based on what it finds on the internet, not in use. My sister has a company that modifies online content. If AI is sampling her work, everything is peachy and five star rated. She cleans up review messes, bad publicity, etc. those are content issues AI will have to sort out in the future to reliable.

I was gonna buy a 500w for a similar price. All I'm hoping really is to just run my laptop and recharge batteries. So I'm sure it will work for what I actually need.

You should try a couple different AI's. It will blow your mind. 1000 times better than google search. By a long shot. Ask it anything you would normally Google. Additionally you can get it to write articles, lists, you can rearrange any group of info into whatever format you need it in. Take any research project you recently worked on and do it thru AI. It creates the same thing you've done on your own in minutes - that took you days to create. Literally.

ChatGPT is an app. And Grok is a button at the bottom of the X app. Those are two good ones. There are others that create art and all sorts of crazy stuff. But Grok and ChatGPT will literally blow your mind. They also cite the 15 top websites they found in their research and in groks case up to 15 X contributors.

It's like having 500 college graduates working on your research for you.
