Who installs 120 plug to Hybrid battery?

I am new and just posted this in the main forum. After discovering this modifications/accessory section, I thought it would be better to re post it here:

Who installs a 120 alternating current female plug to the hybrid battery so I can run an 800 watt Vitamix blender for 10 minutes a day? Preferably Florida but anywhere in my travel route between Florida and Montreal.
Hobbit interested?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. My understanding is that the 12volt battery would be drained almost immediately and certainly in less than 2 minutes.
I hear about people doing it quite often. The salvage Prius guy up north used to do it but only for Gen 1 and 2. Many people do it so they can use it as a portable generator(without the noise or frequent gas filling and oil changes of generators) to run part of their house when power fails. And I am not the first Prius owner to do this for powering a blender or induction stove. It is not expensive. I just need to know who and where someone is currently offering this service.
I believe it would be attached to the READY terminal of the battery so the main battery would automatically charge as soon as the power was too low.

By the way, why would you need more than a 1000 watt inverter if you only wanted 1000 watts from the main hybrid battery?

 

Thank you for your reply.
I have already experienced that if I leave the car in ready mode, I can leave the Air conditioner(which runs directly off the big hybrid battery) on and it will run with the engine not running until the power of the hybrid battery goes low enough to turn the engine on to recharge the big main hybrid battery.

You suggest attaching a 1000 watt inverter directly to the small starting battery. I do already know that the large main hybrid battery constantly recharges the small starting battery. What I am in doubt about is how fast the big main hybrid battery recharges the small 12 volt starting battery. Of course I have no doubt that the large main hybrid battery will recharge the small 12 volt battery fairly quickly. I am just in doubt of whether it would recharge/maintain the charge without interrrupting the powerful 800 watt draw of a high powered Vitamix blender for 10 minutes. Yes, I can see that if the Vitamix drained the 12 volt battery that the main large hybrid battery would quickly charge the small 12 volt battery back up again. But would the big main hybrid battery maintain the charge without interrption if an 800 watt draw is on it for 10 minutes?

Have you run an 800 watt appliance for 10 minutes off of the 12 volt battery? There is a big difference between the usual 250 watt or 400 watt draw of smaller appliances.

Thanks for your thoughtful consideration.

 

120 volts
50/60 Hz
12 amps
Surges up to 1440 watts
Above are the vitamix specs
The vitamix company said that the inverters that they tested did not hold up very long unless they were 3000 watt inverters. That means it actually surges up past 1440 OR the internal components of a 3000 watt converter are simply higher quality then a 2000 watt inverter and has nothing to do with surfing past the recorded high of 1440 watts??

5 minutes with a a vitamix blender is enough to make hot soups or hot grain cereal. If it was just crushing ice or a quick fruit smooths it would only be 30 seconds.

Even if I was to use it for 3 minutes, I would still be using at a different time, a mini induction cooker(Walmart) that is rated at 800 watts but probably surges past that.

So it looks like the needs are closer to 1800 to 2000 watts to buffer for surges.

I already know the vitamix draws too much from a regular car battery because the the recharge depends on the alternator capacity.

It sounds too good to be true to be able to simply hook up to the Prius starter battery with a 2 to 3 thousand inverter. Were the earlier posters saying g it was possible because the recharging of the starter battery is continuous and instant, unlike the old fashioned belt driven alternator output?

 

So it looks like I am back to my original question:
Who, between Florida and Montreal will install the correct (3000? Watt) inverter to the large hybrid battery probably to the 2 READY terminals because that would insure the engine would turn on when the large battery got too low (although I would make a practice of having it turned on in ready mode at the same time I am blending or cooking,
It should be someone that knows the correct fail-safe needs like fusable links that a knowledgeable electrician would know to do----to protect the enormous power of the hybrid battery from passing through a defective inverter into the appliance or the person plugging it in.
I do not want to do it myself because I don't trust myself to do it right even with great diagrams and directions.

 

Thanks everyone for your thoughtful replies. Sorry for misleading people in the beginning. You were all correct that 800 watts without additional surge would have done fine in the starter battery with a 1000 watt inverter. That was good advice.
Right after I asked the question, I callled Vitamix for more precise data that revealed the bad news that the surge goes WAY beyond that.
I was not able to copy paste it but you might enjoy googling this site I just found from Van Dwellers:

"No, you *CANNOT* run your 1800 Watt (hair dryer, blender, microwave, A/C) off a car battery. Here’s why:"

I will call Converdent about their plug out kits.

Also, if any one reading this can install an inverter to the hybrid battery or you know someone who does, please let me know.
Does Hobbit have a contact email? I heard he is in Virginia?

Thanks
