Hi all.
Ive just bought a pcb heatbed, the kind used for 3d printers. i want to try and power it with a few lithium batteries. to do this i need to convert the dc from the batteries in to ac. you can purchase power inverters but they step the voltage up to 220. this heatbed only requires 12v.id imagine that its probably quite energy inefficient to step up to 220 then transform it down to 12. so my question is: is it possible to convert 12v dc into 12v ac?
thanks very much for any possible reply's,
Dan
