Energizer 84023 200-Watt Power Inverter
Buy Energizer 84023 200-Watt Power Inverter Now
seems like a good inverter, but the cord disconnected from the plug, directly out of the package. I had to re-solder the wire and connection. It is just too much of a hassle to send back, i discarded the packaging thinking it would work.Read Best Reviews of Energizer 84023 200-Watt Power Inverter Here

PowerDrive RPPD1500 1500-Watt DC to AC Power Inverter with USB Port and 3 AC Outlet
Buy PowerDrive RPPD1500 1500-Watt DC to AC Power Inverter with USB Port and 3 AC Outlet Now
I bought mine 3 years ago at a truck stop. It was $80 then, and I figured it would get me across country back home and then I'd hock it and buy a good one. It has since been in 5 trucks and has ran a 700 watt microwave and a 900 watt electric skillet for 3 years now plus a TV and A little coffee pot. I learned to freakishly oversize the wires to these and almost any of them will work for a good while. I have double 2 Gauge (2 sets) feeding it. The leading cause of 90% of these failing is load wire size. When volts drop-Amps go up in any system. So if your wire is too small it will put incredible stresses on the electronics with raw amps. That is a sure fire way to kill one. I would almost Guarantee that others have ran it on those cheap 4 gauge cables you get at wally world. No dice, and it over thermals or screws up the circuitry and starts acting up. I destroyed my first one, a $400 samlex doing exactly that and It ended up with symptoms I see reviewers talk of on this one.Only about a dozen companies even make inverters. 90% are all the same parts but different covers on them. You can get one from Harbor Freight, Kmart, walmart or Sears and be the same identical unit with different trim and one is all bragged up, the other one is cussed on! That goes for almost everything built nowadays. The cheaper the buyer is on these the sure bet is the cheaper the wire they will buy to feed it.
Rule of thumbNEVER buy a inverter that has a running watts the same size as your intended load. NONE can survive that level of use. Always buy one that is 1/3rd bigger or more than any load you plan to run. ExampleI have a 1500 with a 3000 watt surge, the surge is a bogus number so ignore it, I run a max of 1000 watts out of it at any one time. If you have a refrigerator that has a starting watts of 1450 than the inverter you need is a minimum of 2000 running watts (no matter what the SURGE claims are ignore them they are a lie). The surge don't EVER include the small feed wire people use. The wire the manufacturer recommends is generally only the size to cover the Running watts and 20%.
My roadpro 1500 will handle a surge of 2000 but unless I put 000 size wire on it it wont ever hit 3000 watts in a surge. Simple math folks 12.5 volts average, and Ohms law. 3000 divided by 12.5 = 240 amps. That's the limits of 00 wire in a DC system @ under 2 feet from the batteries.I installed this thing in my work van to run a microwave and battery charger for my makita tools and it does a good job I can run both at the same time without a problem

I didn't buy this off Amazon, but locally since I needed a new inverter to replace my old Power-on-Board inverter.This thing worked fine for about 2 weeks, then it started to fail. It will show random error messages and now says it is drawing 300w with just a laptop charger plugged in. It refuses to run my small 600w microwave (shutting down and gives a 'Overload' message) and the display says it's putting out 61.1 k/w.
For the high cost and low quality of this inverter you're better off spending your money on a quality inverter not made in China.

Because I didn't know which one I'd like the best, I bought this, Raptor GRCABF...Coupler, and the KnuKonceptz Krystal...Coupler Silver.
All are great, I can't decide which is nicest. Sorry if this doesn't help you choose just one, but I don't think you can go wrong with either of the three.

Might work fine for you just be aware the power cord is not as show in the picture as the adapter/connector does add a lot of bulk to it and tends to easily hang up on items and unplug itself.
Description does not say it is a two piece plug, reason for 3 stars... Other than that, it works with my Rand Mcnally 710 Trucker Gps.Got this for my dad for his Rand McNally. The only negative is that the cord is not as long as what he was expecting. He is a long haul trucker and needed a longer cord for his semi truck. Otherwise, it works perfectly.

Buy Battery Tender 022-0165-DL-WH 12-Volt 2-Bank Battery Management System Now
We have 2 cars that don't get much use. Unfortunately too often we'd find one was dead when we wanted to use it. The 2 station charger solved this problem. LEDs make it easy to monitor the state of charge and hook up/unhook takes seconds.Should have done it ages ago!!!!!!

I now have a single and a double 1.25 amp Battery Tenders. They service my two Corvettes as well as a Buick that I don't use very much. Performance is as advertised, ie, they keep all the batterys 100% charged and ready to go. I am pleased.Want Battery Tender 022-0165-DL-WH 12-Volt 2-Bank Battery Management System Discount?
Ordered to keep the battery's on my two Harleys up to charge between riding. Easy to mount to wall, came with two harnesses, one for each battery, and two sets of clips for temporary hook up. Once all is installed, easy enough, just plug in and let it do the work. Went to charge cycle for the first 6 hours or so, then maintain. Works well. Harley dealer wanted $75 for a single unit, same manufacturer, this is a better deal.
