Power your laptop, tablet, smartphone and more... right from the dashboard of your car! The Duracell Mobile 150 features ultra-fast 2.1 Amp USB charging that powers and recharges today's most demanding devices, yet it's small enough to stash practically anywhere. This compact power converter plugs into the cigarette lighter of a car, RV, boat or other vehicle and transforms 12-volt DC battery power into 120-volt household AC electricity. The Inverter 150 is ideal for space-conscious car interiors, with an innovative flex-neck design lets you access hard-to-reach power outlets with ease.

<a href="http://www.powerinverter.org/300w-car-inverter-circuit-introduction.html">300w car inverter</a> is an electronic device that takes a DC input and converts it into an AC output. Since car batteries provide DC voltage, and most consumer electronics work on AC, inverters are useful for using laptops and other devices on the road. However, there are some vital constraints to keep in mind whenever you use an inverter in your car. Factors like the capacity of the car battery, rated output of the alternator, and output wattage of the inverter can all play a part in determining which devices can be plugged in and used.

Every power inverter has a power rating in watts. The typical inverter intended for use in power outlet (lighter socket) is 200-400 watts. That's enough to power electronics and lighting, not power tools or heating devices. A hair dryer requires 1000watts. Many of those small "ceramic" heaters need 1500W. That means you would need a big inverter that connects directly to the battery.

There is some truth to the frying the car's electrical statement. Depending on the load placed upon it, it may cause the alternator to run at full output, which most of them (at least from the factory), are not intended to do for more than a very short amount of time (typically less than a minute). A continuous high load condition can overheat the alternator, leading the failure.
