Extralink CAR VOLTAGE CONVERTER 12V - 230V, 300W, MODIFIED SINUS OPIM-300W power adapter/inverter Auto Metallic

Extralink voltage converter OPIM-300W modified sine wave The Extralink OPIM-300W voltage converter is a device that converts the battery output voltage (direct current, DC) to 230V AC (alternating current). 230V AC is the type of current provided by utilities to power standard household appliances such as TV, refrigerator, radio, lighting or to charge a laptop/cell phone, etc. If you already have a charged battery then connecting an inverter will enable you to power household appliances in areas without access to the mains electricity supply; for example in a campervan, caravan, boat, allotment or other remote location. Inverters are also ideal for off-grid systems and backup power systems in case of accidental power outages. This is a modified sine wave inverter, which means that the 230V AC output is an approximated sine wave. This solution is cheaper than pure sine wave inverters, however, due to the characteristics of the output current it is not recommended for use with induction motors such as those used in central heating furnaces. The presented model can generate 300W of continuous power and up to 1200W of peak power (peak reserve capacity is useful if more power is needed to run the device than for its continuous operation). In addition, the inverter has a USB port to power USB compatible devices (e.g. cell phones, tablets, laptops, MP3 players, etc.).
