THE GEAR GUIDE

12V Inverters & Car Power

Vehicle sockets and hardwired battery inverters have different limits. A high-output inverter requires a properly designed battery installation; it is not a plug-in accessory.

READ THE LABEL

What to look for

  • Check the vehicle outlet’s fuse and continuous-load rating.
  • High-power inverters usually require a properly fused battery connection.
  • Match waveform and voltage to the connected equipment.
  • Never idle a vehicle in an enclosed space or near a tent’s air intake.
