12 Volt DC to AC power inverters convert DC current into conventional AC electricity which can run all kinds of household products such as: kitchen appliances, microwaves, TV's, radios, computers and more.
By using a 12 volt dc ac power inverter to power AC devices from your renewable power source you run appliances on your truck, car, RV, or boat by attaching the power inverter to your battery, DC power source, or cigarette lighter. You can power such things as TVs, computers, cell phones, camcorders, games, tools, etc. DC/AC Power inverters allow you to use AC powered devices just like you were at home, as long as you do not exceed the wattage rating of the power inverter.
The best type of battery to use with a power inverter over 300 watts is deep-cycle lead acid batteries that are typically found on an RV, boat, or golf cart. A typical car battery will not be able to handle more than a 300W power inverter, therefore, inverters over 300W do not usually come with a cigarette lighter adapter. Also, many car cigarette lighter circuits are fused at 20 Amps, meaning you won't get more than 200 Watts out of it.
12V Power Inverters are being sold by Xantrex power inverters, Whistler, Cobra, Sima, and Vector power inverters.
