Tripp Lite 400W Power Inverter for Car Outlet Adapter, 2 Outlets & 2 USB Charging Ports
A work truck or boat cabin rarely has a wall plug handy when you need to recharge a laptop or run a small pump. We build this compact inverter to pull direct current from your vehicle socket or battery posts and convert it to alternating current. Plug in on the road, then pack it back under the seat.
Price as our retail partner last listed it. They set it and they can change it, so the figure on their page is the one that counts at checkout.

How this one is built
Source connections
Plug the cord straight into the dashboard accessory socket or clamp directly to battery terminals with the included leads. Color-coded clamps keep polarity clear when you hook up under the hood.
Standard wall outlets
A pair of grounded outlets takes your typical three-prong cables. You can power a small television, charge tool packs, or keep test gear going without looking around for a generator.
Dedicated USB ports
A pair of USB connections feeds phones, handheld meters, and tablets directly. That leaves the main AC sockets open for gear that requires a standard wall brick.
Cooling and housing
A durable enclosure takes the knocks of a crowded cab or tool trunk. An internal fan pulls air across the components to manage heat buildup during extended run sessions.
