Have you ever driven on a long trip and wanted to take a small appliance in the vehicle? Did the kids want to take some electronics? Were you the 'bad guy' when you had to say "No!"? Don't be the 'bad guy' ever again! Take your power inverter along, and those appliances or electronics can come with too!
These Power Inverters are some of the most popular among travelers all around the world. They serve as a portable outlet – take them wherever you go! Pick the wattage you need below, and you're ready to go... anywhere.
The Inverter simply plugs into your cigarette lighter, and will power almost everything, including laptops, stereos, video games, televisions, VCR’s, even cameras! It can provide up to 1500 watts of energy, powering up all sorts of devices. It will automatically protect against drainage of your car’s battery, and will work if you car is on or off! With an easily replaceable internal fuse, our inverter comes with a sleek aluminum design. Don’t leave home without it!
Koolatron's 150 watt model is ideal for running electrical appliances such as stereos, fluorescent and incandescent lights, cellular phones, laptop computers, fax machines, 13" TVs, VCRs and more. The 150 watt model is compact and easy to use. You can expect 3 to 5 hours of run time from your vehicle's battery when using Koolatron's 150 watt model at full power before needing to recharge the car battery.
What size/wattage should I buy?
The size you choose depends on the watts (or amps) of what you want to run (find the power consumption by referring to the specification plate on the appliance or tool). We recommend you buy a larger model than you think you'll need (at least 10% to 20% more than your largest load).
Example: You want to power a computer with a 17" monitor, some lights, and a radio.
Computer: 300 Watts
2 - 60 Watt lights: 120 Watts
Radio: 10 Watts
Total Needed: 430 Watts
For this application, you would minimally need a 500 W inverter, and should give some thought to a larger one, as there will likely be a time when you wish you'd bought a bigger model ... in this example, you might decide you'd like to run a fan while you compute, or let the kids watch TV. To determine which inverter that has enough power for your application, add together the watts for items you may want to run at the same time, and use the total wattage, plus 10% to 20%, as your minimum power requirement. The basic formula to convert Amps into Watts is:
Amps x 120 = Watts
