Tripp Lite 200W Car Power Inverter with 1 Outlet & 2 USB Charging Ports, Auto Inverter

Vehicles only provide direct current through the dash, which leaves standard plugs useless on the road. We built this mobile inverter to supply alternating current and dedicated charge ports from a standard lighter socket. It rests on a console or floorboard to run work gear while you travel.

What it does

How this one is built

Housing and chassis

The outer shell takes the routine knocks of a cab or work truck without cracking. It stays light enough to toss in a glove compartment when parked, keeping the console clear.

Cooling fan integration

An internal fan pulls air across the components as the electrical load builds up. Moving heat away from the board helps maintain steady operation during long highway drives.

Direct vehicle connection

The attached plug seats firmly into standard auxiliary power sockets found in cars and service trucks. It draws power directly from the electrical system without needing loose jumper clips or special wiring.

Internal circuit fuse

A built-in fuse sits on the input line to manage power anomalies before they reach your connected hardware. The circuitry monitors against common line faults, low voltage, and thermal buildup.

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.
