When traveling to Tibet by car, do I need to install an auxiliary battery and an inverter?

If you can have a negative battery while traveling by car, the battery will definitely be more sufficient. However, in actual operation, spatial location, fixation and line arrangement must also be considered. If batteries with different internal resistances are connected in parallel, they will consume a lot of power. It is recommended to buy a multi-assist outdoor power supply directly, which has an output of 220 volts and does not require any modifications to the car.

For cars or SUVs, whether you are traveling by car to Tibet or elsewhere, most of the time you will not eat and sleep in the car, even if you need to sleep in the car occasionally for a day or two. There is no need to install a secondary battery and inverter.

But if you want to eat and live in the car often, it is necessary to consider this issue in this case. After all, the original car battery capacity is too small. The theoretical storage capacity of a 48ah battery is 0.576 kilowatt hours, and the theoretical storage capacity of a 60ah battery 0.72 degrees, and the power of the on-board generator is only more than one thousand watts, which is not enough to support larger-power electrical appliances (electric rice cookers are usually 300 to 600W, electric pressure cookers are usually more than 700W, and induction cookers are usually more than 2000W). In this case, it will be safer to install a secondary battery (an isolator is also required), and since these electrical appliances usually need to use AC 220V power supply, if you want to use these electrical appliances, you need to install an inverter to convert the vehicle's 12V DC The power supply is converted to AC 220V.

When traveling to Tibet by car, it is more convenient to have food and accommodation along the way from Sichuan to Qinghai, so it is not necessary to bother with this matter. After all, large-capacity batteries and high-power inverters are also expensive. ; And for safety reasons, it is best not to sleep in a car (except for professional RVs) on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Is additional installation required? It also depends on your needs

If you are traveling by car, if you plan to stay in a hotel in a town and choose to eat in the town instead of camping or cooking by yourself, then there is no need to install an auxiliary battery needs.

Second, if you choose to camp by yourself and have the need to cook your own meals, then installing an auxiliary battery is essential. If you plan on camping, electricity is an issue. At the same time, when you cook, you also need to use a rice cooker or electric pressure cooker. Using salt to test the battery will actually cause great damage to the original car battery, and using the original car battery will cause great damage, and the car will be set on fire.

Third, during my self-driving trip to Tibet, my car was equipped with a 120 auxiliary battery and a 3000-watt inverter. Basically enough, I can charge the auxiliary battery while driving. At the same time, I plan to install another solar panel on the car, so that I can stay in one place for two more days without worrying too much about the power supply.

If you often like to travel, especially when traveling by car, try to equip your car with a battery and an inverter! It will always be useful

It doesn’t necessarily depend on the way you choose to travel. If you mainly stay in hotels and eat in restaurants, you don’t need to install it. If you live in a car or often cook by yourself, installing a battery and inverter is the best choice, because other equipment such as gas tanks or cassette stoves are not as convenient and safe as inverters, and some If you are not allowed to take it with you at the checkpoint, it will be confiscated. In addition, the wind on the Tibetan Plateau is relatively strong and the temperature is low. It is very difficult to use equipment with open flames such as cassette stoves or gas tanks. The heat loss is relatively large, and the forest area is more dangerous. Open flames are strictly used. So if you are driving in Tibet and mainly camping and cooking your own meals, you’d better install a battery and inverter!

I recommend a solution to everyone: a 400 Ah lithium battery and a 3000 watt inverter. After each charge, it can be used for two or three days when parked, and three meals a day are guaranteed. boiling water. Electric pressure cooker, electric wok, hot water kettle for cooking. Let’s put it this way, if you use electricity at home, you can use it outdoors. Very powerful.

It is really troublesome to install an auxiliary battery. It requires an isolator. The worry-free way is to buy a multi-assist outdoor power supply with 220 volts and 600 watts output. You can use a cigarette lighter at any time during self-driving tours. Recharge. Steaming rice, boiling water, cooking, lighting, emergency rescue, all done.

We from Shanxi Province left on July 24 last year. We walked for 24 days and covered a total distance of 9,300 kilometers. We went to Seda, Daocheng, Aden, Sichuan, and as far away as the Everest Base Camp. We didn’t add anything, and the food and accommodation were very cheap. Convenient, I didn’t find it a little difficult to travel to Tibet, and I brought so much food back with me! Don't be as scared as you think. Accommodation costs about a hundred and ten yuan, it's easy to live in, it's clean and sanitary, you've chosen the right place.

Whether to install additional equipment or not depends on personal needs. I just came back from a self-driving trip in Tibet. My car is equipped with a 120 Ah lithium iron battery, an inverter with an actual power of 2000 watts, and is charged by the car's generator. It is also equipped with a 500-watt electric pressure cooker (with two internal gallbladder), 800-watt electric water heater. It is very convenient to cook a meal, cook some dishes, and warm water to wash your face and feet at night, which greatly improves the living environment of the bed and cart.

You also need to bring a house.

This depends on whether you choose to camp. If you choose to stay and eat in hotels along the way, just buy a smaller fissioner. You don’t need to buy an auxiliary battery. If you are camping, you will need to buy a larger secondary battery and fissioner.

Not required. I have been to Tibet twice and walked through Ngari.
