Duracell DRINVP175 175-Watt Pocket Inverter with 2.1-Amp USB Port

Duracell DRINVP175 175-Watt Pocket Inverter with 2.1-Amp USB PortThis 12 volt inverter is smaller than I possibly could have imagined. At 4x2.5x1, it's about the size of a deck of cards. It weighs only 4oz so it's almost as if it's a hollowed out piece of plastic. Impressive! Previous inverters that I've used were about the size of a brick (and weighed almost that much). I was completely surprised when I saw how small and light this was.

While it advertises 175W support, that is white lie told by the marketers. The product clearly states it can *peak* at 175W but in normal operation, it is rated for 130W. This is a small but important difference. I wish they'd just tell the truth and call it a "130W inverter" but exaggerating and advertising peak values seems to be an industry norm. An example where this little lie might get you: the charger that came with my laptop is 150W and would not work with this inverter. That said, I never bring along my huge 150W laptop power supply when traveling.

This inverter seems to have a small fan which is inaudible unless you hold the inverter up to your ear. During 20 minutes of formal testing, the inverter reached an external temperature of about 100 degrees. If I shined my thermometer inside the air vents, I was able to get readings of 108 degrees. I'm guessing that this inverter gets quite warm to the touch after extended operation. I doubt that it is any different than other products like laptop power bricks. If I notice higher temperatures in extended usage, I'll update my review.

My kill-a-watt noted that the Duracell inverter provides 115.5 volts. This is a little less than I get in my house (118 volts). The power hertz was way down from what I get in my house. At home I get 59.9hz but the inverter provided between 24 and 37hz. The faceplate says it will 120volts @ 60hz but I'm not sure if this is an issue with the kill-a-watt or the inverter. I'm not a physicist so I don't really know what applications are impacted by the difference in frequency.

My first test of the Duracell inverter was to make use of its USB port to charge my phone. There wasn't much to this testI plugged the cell phone into the USB port and it started charging. I count this as a success.

My next test was to plug in my laptop using the aforementioned 150W power supply. The laptop did not show that it was charging and the inverter's green power light started flashing. It appeared to be protecting itself from drawing too much power. Another success.

Next I plugged my laptop's 60 watt power supply into the inverter and confirmed that my laptop was now charging. The kill-a-watt showed I was drawing about 40 watts and the laptop indicated that it was plugged in. More success.

My final test was my CPAP machine. I've always wanted to be able to sleep in the car when on long trips but I have sleep apnea and require a CPAP machine. I wasn't crazy enough to plug my heated humidifier into this but I did test the CPAP and it worked fine. The machine draws 25 watts when operational so it's a fairly light load. Still, I was quite happy to see this work as this could definitely be something I use when on long drives.

Overall, I think this inverter is a steal. The small size will truly fit in your pocket and it seems to have enough capacity for almost anything reasonable that you will try to do in your car (charge a laptop). It also includes a set of clamp cables that could attach directly to a car or marine battery. This would be a great, inexpensive power solution for someone that lives in a place that sometimes loses power. Of course, you'd be very constrained on the wattage you could use so I think this would only work in the case of emergencies. But if you were an avid camper and could some how drag along a battery, this might be a handy way to plug in something like a CPAP machine when in the middle of nowhere.

This small and lightweight inverter is ideal for charging a laptop and a USB-powered iPod, cellphone or similiar device. It runs on the quiet side and fits nicely inside a laptop carrier or inside a car's glove compartment. It's one of the smallest devices I have owned for my electronic gadgets while traveling and performs excellently. I use it both for a small 10" notebook and to recharge my Kindle.

Although it comes with 12-volt cable clips, using them while driving would be impractical but are an added bonus at a campsite where a more powerful electronic device would need to be charged, but then make sure the car battery doesn't get depleted. The manual states a two-hour run time off a car battery while idle, but why tempt it?

I appreciate the added safety features on this small inverter. It has an electronic overload protection with automatic shutdown (the ideal range is 130-170W of combined devices), a non-user replacable 25 A fuse, low battery voltage shutdown and high-input voltage protection with automatic shutdown. Although I haven't had this happen to me yet, it also comes with an overheat protection with automatic shutdown. All these features help prevent blow-outs and destruction of electronic cigarette lighters and other outputs.

Its one weakness is the cigarette lighter plug itself. It stands about three inches long, so if your car's cigarette lighter is positioned in a tight spot, this device may be awkward or impossible to use. If your car's lighter is in the front dashboard with no obstructions, though, and you have only a laptop and iPod/iPhone to charge, this little gadget is ideal. It comes with a three-year limited warranty.

The product works fine, but it fails to mention on amazon that this is 175 watts PEAK. On the device it reads 130 watts continuous, 175 watts peak. I bought this to charge my dell lattitude work laptop in my car and even with the laptop powered off it is unable to charge it. My laptop requires 150 watts so I thought I'd be covered with 175 but 130 isn't enought to get it done. I've been able to find other uses for it, and it works fine for charging camera batteries and handheld devices, but the ad is a little misleading.

Update: After re-reading the description, it does say "up to 100 watts compatability", but I still feel that should have been mentioned in the first line right next to "175". Still misleading, but I didn't read carefully enough.

This is my third inverter, and (just based on one test) this one is way, way, way quieter than my cheesy inverter from Walgreens and the cheesy (CyberPower) one from Walmart. As I understand almost all the noise is from tiny whiny fans, and the others sounded like high-pitched Dust Busters. By comparison this one was (for five minutes, at 40W) practically silent.

On the other hand, the box says it's 175 watts, but only if you hook it up directly to the car battery using the enclosed tiny jumper cables. Probably not what most people had in mind. The box says 175 watts peak power, 130 watts continuous (apparently with the jumpers), 120 watts (peak? continuous?) from the lighter socket. That's fine with me, but that's what it is.

Update: Year later, occasional use, still silent. As a 120-watt (peak?) inverter my experience is five-star. Just a truth-in-labeling issue.

This is a car inverter. It plugs into the cigarette lighter port and gives you an electric outlet. It works fine, with two exceptions. First, sometimes it makes a very high pitched hissing noise. Originally, I thought that mine was defective, and so I exchanged it. The replacement does the same thing.

Second, it has some kind of power saving feature that makes it so that it own't turn on until something draws from it. The problem is that many power supplies today have a similar feature they won't start drawing until power is available. One such device is the power supply for the Samsung Series 5 Chromebook. As a result, if you plug the power supply for the chromebook into this device, it will never start charging the Chromebook.

There is a work-around. If you use a power splitter, you can plug in the Chromebook power supply AND some other device that pulls a draw. Once it starts, the Chromebook will start drawing as well, and then you can unplug the other device. Its a pain, but it works.

Nissan LEAF Residential EV Charger, 25' cable (Level 2 EVSE-RS: 7.2kW, 30A)

Nissan LEAF Residential EV Charger, 25' cableThe only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is the price. If I didn't know better I would guess this product was from Apple. Comparing it to the other available charge ports it is the most stylish, it's simple and it's very well made. And, it is being sold at a price that is much much much higher than what it costs to produce.

I purchased this unit specifically for my wife's Nissan leaf. We were being charged $2000 At the dealer and maybe more just to have this same unit installed at our home. The unit arrived ahead of time and I contracted an electrician soon after. Once the electrician determined that the load can be handled by the electric panel it took him two and a half hours to do the job. My suggestion to anyone who intends on getting one of these units is to place it as close and as practical as you can to the electric box and take into consideration where the vehicle will be positioned this way the materials to operate will run you less. The 25 foot cord is more than ideal for my application. The installation was $150 for the electrician and the unit was $900. It's only been in use for a month and a half and it works fine ( hope it lasts) . We are able to shorten the charging time to approximately 4 times faster than the standard cord.

2.5-inch 1080p Hd Wide-angle Hdmi Interface Vehicle DVR Road Dash Video Camera Traffic Recorder (F9

2.5-inch 1080p Hd Wide-angle Hdmi Interface Vehicle DVR Road Dash Video Camera Traffic Recorder Us PlugGave this dash camera as a gift. While the camera works on it's internal battery it does not seem to save any data or provide any loop. Error screen indicates an SD card is needed. Giftee says instructions only mention to use an SD card but when he plugged one in the camera did not work. Russian made camera looks good quality wise, and picture is good on the self contained viewer, but I'm waiting to see if it works and records video as intended. An SDHC card is required for operation it should be noted and 32Gb gives many hours of up to ten minute files. I hope to report more as new info arrives.

Update for those interested 1/8/2013:

After fooling with the camera several hours, it is finally working fine. It is going to be a great camera for its intended purpose. Some suggestions to try:

I found the AC adapter will not power the camera (at least with a weak battery). So I used the included 12V cord to run the camera. The failure of the AC adapter to power the camera was a major source of confusion when figuring out the camera settings.

Use an SDHC card. Even tho the instructions say use SDHC I tried a small memory space standard SD card and it recorded but didn't have enough space to really tell if it was usable. You might get lucky if you have a standard card and it works.

I bought a 32 Gb SDHC card and it records many hours. After trying various setups I found the camera would only LOOP RECORD in bursts of maybe 4 seconds to a minute with giant gaps of time. I solved this by finding the FORMAT icon in system setup. This probably not only clears the SD card but also reformats and resets the camera.

Another item I'm not sure about is the MOTION DETECTION function. I am wondering if it resets the LOOP TIMER everytime it sees motion and this is the reason the camera settles into a short burst mode? Turning off the MOTION DETECT and then formatting I finally got everything working fine! I raised the rating to average because the camera works real good once one takes the time to figure out the functions but the instruction manual leaves much to be desired!

There is a little black reset button on the bottom of the camera. It seems only to unlock any screen freeze that might occur so that the camera can be turned off.

WHEW

not good. cheapo, most likely used, didnt hold charge, and screen tweaked out when i plugged charger in. come with all the cords and mount, cheap plastic/matierals.

This video camera comes with a simple manual which is written in many languages. But once unit is turned on and seems to work there is no further help either online or someone to contact. I can only record 4 to 9 seconds at a time. Can not figure out how to record in a longer time segment. Saving a segment for delete or save is easy. If there was someone to contact about this camera this would greatly increase the products rating.

Garmin Nuvi AC Wall Adapter Charger

Garmin Nuvi AC Wall Adapter Charger
  • USB connector is especially designed for use with a GPS unit
  • Joints are coated with a sturdy polymer flexible plastic providing a long product life
  • Right angled plug provides room for all your other adapters and electronic items
  • Matte black finish for elegant look

I disagree with the above reviewer in that you CAN use this while it's charging. It's possible that that person was unable to get a strong enough signal to operate it or perhaps another issue, but NO, it does not go into PC mode. Otherwise, having this charger is convenient when you want to take your GPS on the go with you & it needs some juice but you don't have enough time to do this in the car. Or you're traveling and you don't want to deal with leaving your charger in the car. It's very inexpensive & you don't need to buy any other bells and whistles to charge your GPS. By the way, mine's a Garmin Nuvi 255w.

Buy Garmin Nuvi AC Wall Adapter Charger Now

This item was listed as a Garmin branded charger, and I was expecting an exact replacement for the AC charger that came with my Nuvi 350. This is an off branded charger. The cord is a bit shorter than the original, the usb plug that goes into the unit on the original as offset 90 degrees, this one is straight, and the output of this is slightly lower than the OEM product.

It still works, but the shortened cord is limiting. Price was good, and shipping was relatively fast.

this charger is for cell phones, it is NOT by NUVI as Amazon says, the one I received is by CCM Mobile, when plugged into my nuvi 750 it does go into pc mode(as others have said), I love it when other people tell you that NO it doesn't go into pc mode, maybe Amazon sends out different models and maybe they received one by Nuvi, but I didn't, I have played with it many times trying to get it to work(plugged and unplugged several times quickly and did get it to be in the charge mode one time, but I can not get it to repeat so it is not dependable), truly does not do what Amazon advertises it to do, a useless $3.50 piece of junk, do not buy for GPS's, also, it is not the same as the picture of the item on Amazon's page

I went to charge up my Garmin GPS and in less than a minute this product stop working. A spark shot out from the outlet and the adapter suddenly stopped working.

Of course I threw it away immediately. Since I paid so little for this product I simply didnt bother with paying for the postage to return it in hopes to receive another adapter. I was extremely disappointed!!!

I ordered this item because it specifically listed it's compatibility with the Garmin GPS I have. When it arrived not only did the item packaging not match list the Garmin, it didn't even indicate it was appropriate for ANY GPS but rather for cell phones. Further, the item looked markedly different from the one shown on the website. Only good news was that Amazon promptly refunded my money.

LCD FM transmitter car charger for iPod Touch 2nd Generation and iPod Nano 4th Generation

LCD FM transmitter car charger for iPod Touch 2nd Generation and iPod Nano 4th Generation
  • Compatible for iPhone 3G
  • Fm Transmitter
  • Blue LED light
  • LED Power indicator
  • No battery needed

I got this transmitter to replace my old beklin which did not charge my i-pod nano 4th generation. It works very well. I had ordered an i-trip, which turned out to be a piece of junk, so I was kinda hesitant to by another cheepy one. But this far exceeded my expectations. It charges my i-pod and has a good reception, although I haven't traveled into a major city, like LA,where reception can be limited. But the sound quality is good.

Buy LCD FM transmitter car charger for iPod Touch 2nd Generation and iPod Nano 4th Generation Now

This transmitter seems slightly less powerful than the one it replaced (only slightly). The one I had before was a little black bullet looking thing, it seemed to come in a little clearer.

However, I bought this one for two reasons other than transmitting:

Pros:

a. it charges my Nano 4th generation

b. it remembers the last channel it was on

Cons:

a. the cord is not very long (making it limited for routing wires for holders)

b. it seems to distort at higher volumes (tried different EQ settings)

c. it sticks out over either of my cup holders (making the cup holder hard to use) 05 Tacoma

d. volume only controllable by stereo (minor issue)

All in all it does what it claims, but I have yet to find the ultimate FM transmitter.

I will most likely replace it when I can find one that can charge my Nano, remember at least one channel, sound good at higher volumes, and have wires or a harness that are easily routable.

Read Best Reviews of LCD FM transmitter car charger for iPod Touch 2nd Generation and iPod Nano 4th Generation Here

I bought this for my wife's 4th gen Nano, it works great, sound quality is better than any other fm transmitter Ive heard. Fits the power output neatly(unlike some that shuts off by the slightest touch), it remembers last station used, is discrete/low-key(looks like a cell car charger). Sound quality is probably as good as it gets from a compact fm transmitter/charger, does highs and lows very good, with only a barely noticeable static in the background if you max the volume. Only downside is the short cable, plus the lcd display can be tricky to view depending on where your DC power plug is, otherwise highly recommended.

Want LCD FM transmitter car charger for iPod Touch 2nd Generation and iPod Nano 4th Generation Discount?

Update 5/25: I previously rated this item with 4 stars, but on my long car drive up north, when I REALLY needed this device, it failed. It quit charging my iPod Touch so I had no music for the second day of driving. Torture. I will see about returning this unreliable shady piece of junk.

I got this for Christmas. It is really simple to use dial in the frequency you want. My wife's Monster setup I bought for her a few years back has 8 pre-set frequencies. She is having problems finding a clear frequency in our major metro area, so being able to choose your own frequency will be handy. Two big shortcomings: 1) it came in a baggie, with no instructions, no nothing. Totally unprofessional. Totally shady. Very not-Amazonian. It's like someone bought it off a roadside vendor in Shanghai and shipped it to me. No instructions, no warranty, no nothing. Also, 2) the form-factor makes it difficult to plug into the cigarette lighter plug. The wideness of the body was too close to the plug so I fought with it until I could turn it sideways to make it fit. I could definitely see for some cars that this won't work. The plug should be longer to accomodate all vehicles. So have a Plan B.

Other than those shortcomings, it works great. The plug cable is long enough so I can charge the iPod and put it in my dashboard cubby. It charges fine and plays music decently over my speakers.

As far as FM transmitters go, this one is the best I've had yet for the price. I spent on my firs one (a Griffin) only to have it crap out on me 6 months later. My second (another Griffin, but only ) similarly only lasted about six months. Only time will tell how long this one will last, but for the price, I'm a lot more willing to buy something only lasting 6 months.

I specifically bought this one because I hoped it would charge my 2nd generation iPod Touch, which it does.

As far as sound quality goes, it's not better than any other FM transmitter I've had, but it fulfills its purpose and I can hear my music with minimal static.

Master Flow MF-1050 Tsunami High Volume Portable Air Compressor

Master Flow MF-1050 Tsunami High Volume Portable Air CompressorI did a LOT of research before purchasing this particular compressor, and despite the issues that some people have had, I still felt it was going to be the best way to go. Its a drag to buy something, then have to fix it out of the box, but after doing the modifications, this little thing is awesome and reliable.

When it arrived, I connected it for 30 seconds to make sure it worked, then got busy working on the issues I had read might be awaiting me ... and they were there, sure as heck.

Issue #1: There is a relay in back by the switch and they did a lousy job soldering it; install solderless connectors. Additionally, my relay was bad, so I replaced with better quality. (Open the back slowly and carefully). -$6 fix, 30 min repair-

Issue#2: The connector for the hose is an odd duck, so you may want to tap out the head and replace with one more usable. This is not as tough and frightening a job as you think. do some research. -$5 (connector and fitting), 30 min repair-

Issue #3: the gauge is crap, get rid of it. You can find one made for checking tires (slime brand) at an auto parts store and it screws right in. -$3.99, 1 minute repair-

Issue #4: The power cord. I use mine as on-board air and immediately hardwired using large-gauge wire, so it wasn't so much an issue for me. However, some have complained about various minor problems. Research and apply your own solution if needed.

After the mods, I agree with the majority that this to be probably the best portable 12v compressor out there. I use it a LOT in my rock crawler.

Google the name and model number; there are several long and detailed threads on 4x4 forums about this.

Baloo

The air compressor works great. I have 2 of them. they both have a similar problem........THe nipple that the air hose plugs into, is not a standard type air nipple.....so, if i want to change hose types, from the cheesy included hose, I have to take the head off the compressor, and get a npt pipe tap, and re-thread the head. The 2 compressors I have, both have different types of nipples,and the threaded nipple is not a standard npt thread........ so the hoses are not compatiable with one another. Whoever does the quality control should know this, and get someone to look at this problem. I won't buy another one.

worked like a champ! I have an RV with tires that require 115 psi. this was not a problem for this compressor. The RV also has an "air ride" system for the axels and the 5th wheel hitch. This compressor had not problem filling the system to the required level. good price

Great little pump that needs a little work to make it "perfect". At 2.5 cubic feet per minute (CFM) it is at least 3 times faster than the little ones advertised as those for your car. As received it is useful for filling up car tires but... The end of the air line does not come off and the quick disconnect for the pump end is not "standard" so it can't be used for much else. It does need a little work to make it better but it can be done. Since the air connection at the pump is not standard it needs to be changed to be useful. Modifying the pump head using an 1/4-18 NPT tap and adding a standard air fitting to make it compatible with standard air connections makes it much more useful (note that doing this will invalidate the warranty). I did this modification and bought a kit of standard air accessories including a hose which is an almost duplicate of the supplied one so that it can be used to fill bicycle tires, motorcycle tires, and RV tires and used with small air tools. Now it is almost "perfect". No it will not run your full size paint gun or your nail gun, but it will run anything that requires 2.5 CFM air or less with no problem and will fill an RV tire in a reasonable amount of time. NOTE: This pump is functionally the same as the MV50 also by Q-Industreis and available on Amazon.com

Want Master Flow MF-1050 Tsunami High Volume Portable Air Compressor Discount?

Pros: Solid construction on mine, no loose cords or fittings. Runs great -fast and not too loud. Nice little carry bag. Does have on/off switch (earlier reviewer said it didn't).

Cons: Screw-on valve is a little annoying -not as much of an issue for vehicle tires since you can unscrew it before losing too much air, but not so good for bike tires. Non-standard coupler doesn't fit common accessories. (If I manage to break it or get tired of the valve, I'll rethread the hole and put in new fittings.) Pressure gauge is a little off, but easy to replace with a $4 one.

Other: Don't bother with cigarette lighter air compressors--my Campbell Hausfeld one crapped out when I needed it most. Get one like this that can clip onto the battery. +1 on checking the 4x4 forums for modifications and such.

Buy DURAGADGET In Car charger for Navigon 7310, 6350 live, 6310, 4350 MAX, 40 Easy,3310 Max Now

Waste of time and money since this car charger isn't compatable with the Navigon 6310 as stated. This car charger adapter fits into the Navigon, however the Navigon screen is blank. I have now ordered the Navigon car charger through the Navigon website. I guess you get what you pay for in this case. PS the issue isn't with the Navigon GPS since my old charger still works. The old cord has a short in it and needs to be held in a certain position in order for it to work properly. At least I can use the old cord for the time being, but this Duragadget is useless with the Navigon. I'm hoping to get a refund.

Kinetic KHC-TP Dual Terminal Top Post Set

Kinetic KHC-TP Dual Terminal Top Post Set
  • 3/8 inch threads
  • Unique 2-piece design
  • Top post & ring connections
  • Maximum conductivity
  • Specifically for Kinetik Power Cells and available for all models except the KHC600

I'm glad I purchased these when I ordered my kinetic battery. It made the connections a lot easier to install for my boat. The power posts that came with the battery are too big to connected the 3/8 wire connections that feed power to my amps, so I'm glad I bought these along with my battery, made installation a whole easier. Plus they shine pretty nice too

Purchased this item because I was unsure if the terminal posts would ship with my PowerCells. They look much better than the posts with shipped with the power cells so I used them instead of returning them. Not a must have but work the expense in my opinion.

ACDelco 2SD43XG Battery Cable

ACDelco 2SD43XG Battery CableGood quality cable for the cheapest price around. How can you beat that? Too bad I snapped the post off my starter putting it on but that's my own stupidity and no fault of the cable. Just remember, don't over tighten the nut on the starter!

Tripp Lite APS1250 Inverter / Charger 1250W 12V DC to 120V AC 30A 5-15R 2 Outlet

Tripp Lite APS1250 Inverter / Charger 1250W 12V DC to 120V AC 30A 5-15R 2 OutletI used to be a big APC fan, but over the years I have had all kinds of problems with them not behaving well after a battery change. They don't even like the batteries purchased from APC.

I wanted something to use with my computers that did not require specific batteries.Tripp Lite APS1250 1250W 12V DC to AC Inverter with Automatic Line-to-Battery 30-Amp Charger

This product worked out great because I just picked up a couple of Marine Deep Cycle Wet batteries (approx $60 ea) used some cables I had around (#2 Battery cables from auto parts store work great) Just get short ones with two eyes for the connections between batteries (wingnut on bolt connections on most deep cycles) and one longer one to cut in 1/2 and use for both connections to the APS.

The APS takes a 5.5mm allen wrench to tighten the connections, I had to cut the plastic around the outlets a little to get my power strip to plug in directly.

A large (8D) battery box will hold up to 3 size 24 batteries, so I am going to pick up one of those this week.

This unit does not have the B series of DIP switches.

This unit also initially charged the batteries at 50A and then dropped down as they took a surface charge.

The transfer to UPS is seamless when unplugging from the wall for testing.

No flicker or anything on any of the computers.

I am running two computers (+LCDS, Drives, etc) one with a 1000W DA1000 SilverStone DA1000 1000W ATX 12V 2.2 and EPS 12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Active PFC Power Supply Retailthe other with a really old 350W supply.

I also have 5 SATA drives in the desktop.

The desktop really only drew 25A on a bootup on battery which = 300W, the constant draw on the batteries with both systems in active mode is 24A The load also includes UVerse box, 8 port switch, two external drives, usb hub, phones, etc.

Am very pleased to retire my SU1000, my SU700R, and my SU420NET upses as well as the various BK500s in my office for this one, much more efficient unit.

When I do some AC testing for how the unit performs from a generator, I will add to my review.

I have installed this along with an AGM battery as a power back-up for my sump pump. It had no trouble starting my 1/3rd hp pump. A good feature is the "charge only" mode that allows you to shut the inverter down when not needed (the winter months in my case), thus preserving the battery. It also has a setting for the type of battery being used (wet cell or glass-mat). I bought this unit to replace one from the Inverter Store that failed in less than a year.

This Tripp Lite 1200 watt inverter/30 watt converter combo is working perfectly. It provides power to the RV entertainment center up to 5 hours a day. It is connected to a12 volt, 220 amp hr battery. The maximum power drawn is 350 watts in this service so this unit is not working hard, but it certainly works well. The converter is in parallel with a 5 amp solar charger and there has been no problems with this connection.

I bought one of these to provide uninterrupted power to my computer, internet and a NAS. The device failed less than two months after the 1 year warranty had expired. It no longer charges my batteries and says it's over loaded, even when nothing is plugged in. I now have a 400 dollar boat anchor, not to mention another 400 worth of batteries, cables and the trip-lite remote switch that I bought to go with it.

this is a great all-in-one solution for battery-based off-the-grid power. I spent a lot of time researching chargers and inverters and which ones I should combine before I found this, which does both easier and much cheaper for comparable performance.

my only suggestion would be for them to add a couple of fused terminals for direct DC power that could be shut off when the voltage is too low, but we can't have everything I guess.

UPDATE: after about 3 years of light summer usage, this thing up and completely quit on me. no power, nothing. it was nice while it lasted, but far too much to spend on something that is just going to fail after a while.

You can hear even while racing in a loud race car. Works fine...Don't break it though, I broke the first one I had, and they can not fix it.
