Tripp Lite 100W Car Power Inverter with 1 Outlet & 2 USB Charging Ports, Auto Inverter

Vehicle sockets supply direct current, but field gear expects standard alternating current from a wall. We house the conversion electronics in a compact gray shell that sits neatly between the front seats. You get a direct line for a laptop charger, plus USB ports for phones and portable testers.

What it does

How this one is built

Standard outlet power

The alternating current receptacle accepts regular plugs from tool chargers, field laptops and diagnostic hardware. It handles the continuous draw these devices pull during routine roadside work without demanding extra adapters.

Dedicated charge ports

USB jacks sit alongside the main outlet to handle phones, tablets and handheld navigation gear simultaneously. You can replenish communication tools while keeping your primary computer connected to line current.

Vehicle socket connection

The input cord slides straight into standard auxiliary power receptacles in service vans and work trucks. It seats firmly so road vibration does not interrupt power to your bench setup on the road.

Compact gray enclosure

We build the housing to take the scrapes and drops of daily cab life. Its compact footprint tucks between seats or inside a glove compartment when the shift ends, leaving footwells clear.

On the nameplate

These are the figures our retail partner lists for this unit. Where a number is missing here it was not printed on the listing, and we would rather leave the row out than fill it with a guess.
