Tripp Lite 2000W Power Inverter, Medium-Duty Power Inverter with 2 AC 1 USB Outlets

Working out of a truck bed or a service van means making wall power out of direct-current battery leads. We build this inverter with standard receptacles and USB ports so you can run small corded tools and charge field electronics where utility lines do not reach.

  • Convert DC power to AC power: converts 12V power from a car or truck battery into reliable and usable 120V AC power at 2000 watts and peak power of 4, 000 watts for mobile applications, including low-power lights, camping accessories, battery rechargers for small battery-operated power tools, and mobile office equipment. Included 3 ft. Red/black battery cables supply power directly from the battery. Great for cars, trucks, boats, RVs, or anywhere you need to convert DC power to AC.
  • Charge a variety of electronics: dual NEMA 5-15R outlets (standard AC outlets) deliver continuous output for powering electronics with greater power needs, such as small power tools or laptops. 1 5V USB charging port delivers power at 2. 0 Amps, keeping devices such as smartphones and tablets at full capacity.
  • Portable & easy to use: Ideal power inverter for trucks at remote locations such as construction site, where critical equipment and devices must remain operational without access to traditional AC power supplies. Great for areas without regular power outlets such as campsites, where car power inverters are necessary to power personal mobile devices such as phones, laptops, and tablets.
  • Premium safety features: on/off feature offers control over both AC outlets, and an audible alarm sounds during excessively high or low voltage conditions. Two load-controlled fans begin Cooling automatically when the internal temperature rises to a certain level during extended use. An audible alarm sounds during excessively high or low voltage conditions. To protect connected electronics, automatic shutdown occurs if the output of car power outlets drops below 10V or rises above 16V.
  • Remote control: a remote panel is included to extend on/off control over AC power output from a remote location. The wired panel connects to the pinv2000’s RJ11 port and can be permanently installed inside your vehicle with user-supplied hardware. This allows you to mount the inverter somewhere out of sight, like inside a compartment or cabinet, and be able to operate it from your vehicle's dashboard. The panel’s Green LED confirms the inverter is powered on.
What it does

How this one is built

Aluminum chassis

The heavy aluminum casing holds up to vibration, loose gear sliding around a truck box, and frequent moves between vehicles or jobsites.

Cooling and warnings

A pair of built-in fans spin up automatically as internal heat rises. Built-in alarms sound when supply levels shift out of normal operating range.

Remote control panel

A wired remote panel lets you stash the heavy unit inside a vehicle compartment while keeping the power switch and green indicator on the dash.

Direct battery connection

Included color-coded battery cables link straight to the vehicle posts to feed AC receptacles for work lights, chargers, and small power equipment.
