Battery Inverters Are A Must For Long Road Trips

May 19th, 2009

Have you ever wished that you could just plug in an appliance while you are on a long road trip in your vehicle ? Maybe just to recharge your mobile phone or laptop computer. What about being able to pull off the road to make a fresh cup of coffee, or toast a sandwich without having to wait until you find an over priced dinner along your route?

A battery inverter is the perfect solution for you. It gives you or your passengers the ability to plug a 12 v inverter into your cars cigarette lighter socket and convert your cars 12 volt battery charge into your standard household appliance power meaning that you can power almost anything electrical directly from your vehicles interior while driving or standing still

Have you ever been on a long road trip with kids? Ever heard the “Are we there yet” chant. I have and believe me, driving for several hours with children can be a nightmare. That is unless they are occupied and entertained.

A inverter allows them to keep playing their console games long after the batteries are dead by keeping their game charged, and keeping them occupied. Console games, Laptop Pc’s, mobile phones and Ipods are currently the most popular items we find being charged using a 200 watt inverter. These inverters have a standard as well as a USB connection to them making them very flexible items while being very sensibly priced. They are also designed in shape to fit into a vehicles cup holder, making them very unobtrusive. As I write this we sell 200 watt inverters for only $39.95 and they come with a one year factory backed warranty and local onshore repairs.

For the camper, caravan owner or outdoor enthusiast, power inverters come in a range of sizes to suit just about any power tool or appliance – From 120 volt right through to 3000 watt inverters. The larger size units will also plug into your cigarette lighter, however once you connect an electrical appliance that runs on more than 300 watts, you risk blowing the fuse on your lighter as these are made for smaller charges.

Larger units also come with alligator clips so that you can attach them directly to your cars positive and negative battery terminals. Their peak charge when staring an appliance is generally twice the rated power supply of the particular inverter. For example a 3000 watt inverter will deliver a peak charge of 6000 watts for starting very large power hungry appliances.
