The Duracell Pocket Inverter 175 is a remarkably compact power solution for the traveler on-the-go. It employs advanced electronics to convert standard 12-volt DC battery power into 120-volt household AC electricity. It even has a USB port to power your USB capable devices. All of this gives you the flexibility to take your power-hungry equipment on the road with you. The Duracell Pocket Inverter makes carrying multiple cords, chargers, and device- specific batteries a thing of the past.

The Duracell Pocket Inverter 175
gives you power on-the-go.

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.

Perfect for Travelers
Duracell's Pocket Inverter 175 is ideal for those who frequently travel by vehicle or airplane. If your laptop battery runs low or you need more play time with your MP3 player, portable gaming console or DVD player, just connect your device into the AC outlet and keep going. It can power your equipment directly, or simply recharge the batteries. The USB port will keep your BlackBerry, iPaq, Palm, or iPod devices charged and ready to go when you need them the most. Weighing in at only one-third of a pound, the Duracell Pocket Inverter 175 not only frees you from carrying extra cords and batteries, it saves you money as well as space in your bags. It truly is a portable power solution.

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.

Not really enough for a 65watt input notebook November 27, 2008
Power adaptors for 65w notebooks can need more than 150w when the notebook need a lot of energy, e.g. with 100% of processor(s) use.

But this device can offer 135w of constant energy. 175w is just the peak power and really not true.

Do not use with batteries that offer low current levels. As a 12v to 110v transformer, it will need 9 times more current in the 12v input than the device need.

Besides that it is really portable and will power netbooks finely.

Convenient useful November 24, 2008
Works great to charge a laptop and run most small appliances. Don't expect to run your 52 inch LCD when the power is out on Sunday to watch a local NFL broadcast....I tried it didn't work. Fortunately the power came back on by half-time, but I was able to charge my laptop on it.

Product is very compact and adequate as a power source. Size is the main selling point in my case, I have another inverter and it is 3 times the Duracell size.

Quality product. September 22, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I just completed a 4500 mile road trip, and we used this invertor many hours each day to power a laptop running DVD movies for the kids (and their parents!). Operation was flawless: The unit doesn't get too hot, it's quiet, and supplied plenty of power.

My only negative comment would be about the power button and power indicator light. The button could be more prominently marked and the light could be brighter; after all, this is made to be used in a car, where lighting is never ideal. Overall, though, the quality is excellent, especially compared to some other units that I looked at which appeared to have been made in someone's garage.
