The Tripp Lite PV100USB is a 12V car power inverter that provides 100W of continuous 120V AC power, plus a 12V socket and two USB ports, for drivers who want to power or charge small electronics on the road.
Recommended For
- Drivers who want to charge phones, tablets, or other small USB devices on road trips, using the two built-in USB ports without taking up the AC outlet.
- Mobile workers who need to power a low-draw laptop or small electronic device between stops, provided its AC adapter’s draw stays within the inverter’s 100W continuous limit.
- Passengers in cars, trucks, boats, or RVs who need an AC outlet and USB charging in the cabin; the 3-foot input cord can help place the unit within reach of the back seat.
- Travelers who need to run a small TV, DVD player, or similar low-wattage electronics from a vehicle’s 12V outlet, while keeping the combined AC load within 100W continuous.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- On a road trip, passengers can charge phones or tablets from the USB ports while a low-wattage device uses the AC outlet; everyday charging works best when the combined load stays within the inverter’s capacity.
- During a drive or while the vehicle is running at a work stop, a traveler can plug in a laptop’s AC adapter; it should work if the adapter’s draw is within the inverter’s 100-watt continuous limit.
- In a car, truck, boat, or RV, travelers can power small electronics such as a GPS unit or portable entertainment device from the AC outlet, adding a familiar plug option when the vehicle lacks one nearby.
- For back-seat passengers, the inverter’s cord can bring charging access closer to the rear seats, making it easier to connect a phone, tablet, or other small device during longer drives.
- At a campsite or roadside work stop, users can plug in a small electronics or tool-battery charger; larger appliances or chargers that exceed the inverter’s output may not run reliably.
