If you need a means to use your mains powered equipment whilst out in the car then the 12V to mains 240V power inverter is the answer.

The inverter is powered via direct connection to the car battery using the supplied leads. Please note: the wattage of this inverter is too high for connection via the cigarette lighter socket.

Customer Reviews for 1000W 12V Inverter

Sort by:

bought one of these last year ,very good bit of kit ,i have wired it directly to 2 110 amp leisure batterys on my motorhome so i can run a laptop, freesat box etc ,it has never run down my batteries even when using the laptop for 2-3 hrs. The remote control is worth every penny as it saves time having to switch the invertor off at the unit.
