Road Trips Made Better with a Heavy Duty Power Inverter

Going on a road trip this spring break? I’m pretty sure you’ve got all your friends ready with food, road trip music and boundless energy.  The great thing about being on break is you can do whatever you like, all day, everyday.  The road can stretch for hours, the sun can be high in the sky, the first star can peep through the clouds, and you’ll be soaking it all up with the philosophy or living young, wild and free.  Not to rain on your parade though, there’s that teeny tiny problem of your gadgets being on low battery, no air cooling system in the wild when you’re camping, and worse, no Internet.  How can your Instagram and Facebook feeds survive if you’re not connected for days on end?

If this is a scenario that you wouldn’t want ruining the trip you’ve been planning for all year long, make sure your car’s equipped with a heavy duty power inverter that will provide you with a backup energy source wherever you are.  Power inverters are handy devices that produce AC power to run household appliances and electronic gadgets when connected to a DC power source like a car battery.  If you just need to charge your mobile gadgets, you can simply connect the inverter to the cigarette lighter.  If you need to connect bigger appliances like an oven or air cooler, you can use connector cables linked directly to the car battery.

Heavy duty powerinverters can power two or more devices at a time and can provide up to 2600 watts of AC power at its peak.  It would also have safety features like an automatic shutdown button in cases of overloading or an audio alarm to warn you of low battery levels.  When choosing the right kind of inverter for you, ask about the number of outlets that it has so you’ll be able to gauge how many you can plug in.  Before using, make sure you know the wattage requirement of each device so you don’t overload it.
