You can't get mains rated cables under the size required for 120 watt, it is around ½ an amp. O.5 mm² is ample, on the 13 volt size the charger shows the current 0.8 amp so likely 1 mm². Your not really worried about what the motor uses, only what the charger takes or delivers.
12v Battery in jeep.
Inverter is 500w / 1200w
From battery to inverter is 3 meters or under.
Ive tried before just at running it from the jeep at 12v but wasnt very good.
What happens when it gets flat etc,connected cig wire & after a few moments just blew the fuse.
There are blocking diodes, split charging relays, and inverters all used to charge or use car supply mainly in caravans often with some device to switch off once battery voltage reaches a critical level.What happens when it gets flat etc,connected cig wire & after a few moments just blew the fuse.
