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

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.

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.

 Didn't work for me as promised July 22, 2010
Ben Brumley
I bought this and a Dell official car adapter. I have a Dell Precision M4400 and it didn't work at all. It would start to power, then cycle off. I tried to power my Verizon MiFi and it didn't work either.
Another thing that sucks is that there is a power button. Once the car is started you then have to hit the power button. Why not just have a rocker switch and leave it on?
Would not buy again or recommend to anyone
 Seems to work well. July 22, 2010

I have only had this product for a short time. It charged my cell phone just fine.
 Not enough power July 11, 2010

I was looking for a replacement for my iGO 130 watt power supply that burned out and decided to try the inverter route. The Duracell looked like a good fit with my laptop (Dell Precision M4400). It is not. Even when I start on battery and then plug in the Duracell starts switching on and off about 12 to 15 times a minute after about 3-5 minutes. Once I get back to the US, I will be looking for a different inverter.

Arrived quickly and was securely and neatly packaged.
I purchased this for an extended trip to power a laptop and charge several USB devices.
It effortlessly (and safely) converts the cigarette lighter into an American standard wall outlet with a USB charger port. It is light-weight, slimline, quiet and would win a beauty contest against its competition.
Compared to the slightly cheaper but much larger and more bulky Cobra inverter I purchased at the same time (Cobra CPI 480 400 Watt 12 Volt DC to 120 Volt AC Power Inverter with 5 Volt USB output) I prefer this one hands down. It performs the same tasks I require but is more appealing because it takes up less space and looks great!
This is a very good, high quality product that looks great and does the job it is advertised to do.
Great product for the price June 29, 2010

Pros:
- Compact size.
- USB port as well as standard outlet.
- Doesn't get too hot.
- Battery clips included.
Cons:
- Charges relatively slowly.
- Power button switches to off when the car is no longer powered. (This may be a safety feature but it's a pain when you stop for gas and forget to turn it back on to continue charging your devices.
All in all, I'm happy with this purchase. The ability to charge multiple devices while on road trips as well as it's compact design make it well worth the price. I would recommend it to friends although I wish it would charge a bit faster.
