A car inverter is a very useful thing, but how to choose the right one
What exactly is a car inverter is a small device that can convert energy depending on its power. They come in up to 300 W and 300 W and above. The choice of inverter power will depend on what devices you are going to use it for.

If you need it to charge a mobile phone battery or to connect a laptop, an inverter of up to 300 W will suffice. But if you really like to travel, relax in nature far from civilization, then you need a more powerful converter, in which case your choice should fall on an inverter with a power of 300 W and above.
A car voltage inverter up to 300 W is connected from a car cigarette lighter, but from 300 W and above it is connected directly from the battery.
Testing inverters up to 300 W.
Let's do a test of car inverters, first we will look at converters up to 300W.
Calm PS12 / 300 model - operates at a constant power of 300 W. In appearance, it does not represent anything unusual from itself. A regular gray box with rubber feet for more convenient installation of the device.
Calm PS12 / 300 works fine and generates a voltage of about 217 W, the main thing is not to overload it, since when the load increases, the voltage starts to drop, until you fix the problem (that is, overload).

This device is suitable both for connection in a car through a cigarette lighter, and from a battery, the main thing is not to forget to buy wires for this, since they are not included with this model. It has an excellent output signal, which is an important fact.
AcmePower 120 - this choice of model will be designed only for charging a charger for a mobile phone, camera, camcorder, or connecting a netbook, this inverter is not designed for more, since its energy output will be only 107 W, although in reality it is less, since even already at such a low power, the device starts to turn off.
This inverter can only supply electricity to a small device.
Although the design of AcmePower 120 is attractive, this converter comes in a soft velvet case, the package contains adapters for mobile phones, and it also has a USB port, the device is very compact, can easily fit in the palm of your hand, and therefore does not take much places in the car. But still, there are many shortcomings, when overloaded, it will simply turn off for you and in order to turn it on you will have to pull it out of the socket, since it does not have an on / off button. Also, this model has a fan that constantly hums.
Powermate-003 Tamaks - this model has a long cable, a convenient body shape, and also in case of overload, the converter will simply turn off without a voltage surge, this device is not provided for re-enabling. The maximum power of this inverter is 172 W.
