Hi All, I saw a kind of 12v dc to 110v ac inverters selling in electrical stores that allow people to drive their laptops in a car. I want to use it to drive a small device that uses 110v and consumes power less than 3 Watts. But instead of using the car battery, I want to use 8 pieces of D cells as the dc source. The reason is, the 110v ac generated this way would be very safe even when someone accidentally touches it? It is hard to imagine 8 D cells could kill someone, right? Could anybody give some comments to my argument? Thanks in advance!
