Packed with Features
The Duracell Pocket Inverter 175 is packed with features that will keep you up and running while you are out-and-about. It uses highly efficient internal electronics to convert 12-volt DC power, such as that from a car's cigarette-lighter adapter, to standard 120-volt household current. The DC cable fits all standard cigarette-lighter and vehicle accessory power sockets. The grounded AC outlet and USB charging port can provide a total of 130 watts of continuous output power and a peak output power of 175 watts. It is strong enough to recharge your equipment's batteries and provide power for all of your mobile electronic needs--and can even power many small appliances.

Duracell Pocket Inverter 175 Protects Your Equipment
The Duracell Pocket Inverter 175 has several features to keep both you and your devices safe. Over-temperature shutdown keeps the unit from overheating under extreme conditions and prevents fires. The overload shutdown ensures that the unit's inverter does not become damaged from being overpowered by the DC source. Low-battery voltage shutdown turns the unit off when there is insufficient energy to power your devices, keeping the internal circuitry of your mobile electronics safe from harm. An included Electronic Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter immediately terminates power if the unit is exposed to water or other liquids that could cause a short circuit. The Duracell Pocket Inverter 175 also comes with a one-year warranty.

 Good for Acer netbook and Droid X September 10, 2010
AmazonAddicted
I've purchased this for my Acer netbook (kids like to watch movies during a long drive) and for my wife's new Droid X (GPS function in this smart phone demands continuous power supply).
Overall, it works great for both my small netbook and smart phone. But its blue light is hard to see in the sunlight. Please, make sure you push the button when you use this.
I will recommend this to my friends who understand electronic. I am a little concerned about car battery drainage but it didn't happen to me until now.
 Problem with inverter power cord August 31, 2010
K. Small
This inverter worked well for 18 months to power a 16" TV from our car cigarette lighter.
I measured the AC load on the inverter at only 20 watts, so I expected good inverter reliability.
This week, when the 30Amp fuse in the car that protects the cigarette lighter blew, I suspected
the inverter was shorted. After troubleshooting the problem I discovered the inverter was OK!
The short was in the 2-pin connector that plugs into the inverter. After cutting away part
of the rubber connector, I saw that the insulation on the wires had pulled slightly away
from the pins *inside* the moulded rubber connector allowing the stranded wires to touch.
There was very little clearance between the wires at that point and no insulating barrier.
I was able to repair the connector and used epoxy to keep the wires from touching.
Everything works again! I'm writing this review to alert others to this problem, so that they
won't assume the inverter shorted and failed. The problem is easily repairable.

Haven't used long, but so far works great, beautiful design. August 27, 2010

Assuming it holds up, this is just what I needed, in a smaller, sleeker design than expected. I use it for a moist heat blanket for physical therapy. Very convenient.

So far I've only used it to charge my cell phone on a long trip, and it has worked great for that. The only thing I've noticed is that it will sometimes make a low volume but high pitched squealing sound for a very short time when first turning it on. It goes away after a minute so it really isn't an issue.

T. Martucci (Peckville, PA)
Needed an inverter for a 25 day road trip, this powered and charged many of my devices including a MacBook Pro, mobile phones, powered USB hubs (to charge USB devices) and camera batteries. I was impressed it charged my laptop while I was using it since I had a previous inverter that, when I plugged in an (old) laptop with battery, something happened with the battery and it wouldn't charge. Anyway, great product. 175 watts (or as someone said, 130 watts or so through DC) is enough for your typical electronic devices, just check your watts before buying.
