Inverters are devices that create household AC power from 12V batteries like the one in your car. Plug one into your dashboard, or specialized solar power kit, and you are the electric company.
We test it. We use it. So we can recommend it.

We're currently re-configuring this department for 2010, and currently have a selection of power equipment on special clearance. Check it out, especially if you don't see an active link on this page for a particular item. Stock is limited, so order today.

All batteries are DC, so it makes sense to keep all your laptops, phones, & radios operating in a DC world, but when a DC power option is not available for your device, get an inverter.

Inverters come in two types: Modified Sine, & Pure Sine. If an inverter's literature or packaging doesn't state which, it is most likely the basic modified sine variety. What is the difference between these two? Essentially, it is just the quality of the AC electrical power that the unit produces. How 'clean' it is. A modified inverter takes several steps to create the 60Hz waveform, while pure sine models create a very smooth waveform using more sophisticated circuitry.

Which inverter is right for you depends on your power needs. Most computers & household appliances & battery chargers will work fine on modified sine power, but if you are worried about electrical noise or have sensitive electronics, choose a pure sine. It is also adviseable to choose an inverter size that is 20% than the largest total electrical load you will need to operate.
