Best Car Power Inverters Buying Guide
Before choosing the best car power inverter you should consider following options:
1. Power Rating: A car power inverter is rated for its wattage and voltage. The higher the wattage rating, the more power the inverter can handle.
A higher wattage rating means the inverter can run more energy-intensive devices such as laptops and televisions.
The voltage rating indicates the strength of the current supplied by the inverter. Low-voltage ratings mean the current is thin and cannot support energy-intensive devices well.
Higher-voltage ratings support energy-intensive devices well. Car power inverters are available with ratings up to 1500 watts and 12 volts.
2. Battery Requirement: Car power inverters may be powered by a car battery itself or an external battery bank.
A car battery-powered inverter is ideal for low power applications such as powering lights, fans, smartphones and small appliances.
An external battery bank-powered inverter is ideal for high power applications such as powering laptops, televisions and stereos.
Such an inverter can be connected to a deep-cycle battery that can be charged from a car battery.
The battery bank should have a higher rating than the inverter so that it can provide sustained power to the devices.
3. Input Voltage: Car power inverters operate on 12-volt and 24-volt input. 12-volt models are ideal for powering lights, fans and small appliances.
24-volt models are ideal for powering laptops, televisions and stereos. A 12-volt input can be obtained from a car battery, but not all batteries can provide a 24-volt input.
The car battery should ideally support a higher voltage than the input requirement of the inverter. A 12-volt input is ideal for powering laptops and televisions.
A 24-volt input is ideal for powering computers and stereos. A 12-volt input is ideal for powering lights and small appliances.
4. Output Voltage: Car power inverters have a single or dual voltage output. A single-voltage output is ideal for powering small appliances and lights.
A dual-voltage output is ideal for powering laptops, televisions and stereos. A dual-voltage output can also be used to power small appliances and lights.
5. Input Power Factor: A car power inverter converts the DC power from the battery into AC power.
This AC power is suitable for most devices. However, some devices such as televisions and computers require a specific AC power, which is a stepped waveform.
If the car power inverter does not provide a stepped waveform, the devices may not work properly.
6. Output Power Factor: Car power inverters deliver an un-regulated AC power from the battery. This AC power is not suitable for some devices such as televisions.
If the car power inverter does not provide a regulated AC power, the devices may not work properly.
7. Surge Rating: Car power inverters are often exposed to heavy loads. The surge rating of an inverter indicates the amount of power that it can handle for an interval.
Higher the surge rating, the more the inverter can support for a short interval. Car power inverters are available with surge ratings up to 3000 watts.
8. Mounting: Car power inverters are available in different sizes and shapes. They can be installed in vehicles in different ways including on a dashboard, under the seat, in the glove box etc.
Car power inverters are available with
