Q: QuestionWould this have enough power to power a small guitar amp? If so for how long?(2 answers)
A: AnswerThis inverter can power a small guitar amp, for how long though will depend on what size 12V power supply you are connected to. However for the best sound experience, it is recommended to use a pure sine wave inverter such as the Cobra Pure Sine 400W (CPI400PSW).Answered by Cedar Electronics Team
Q: QuestionCan this inverter handle wattage of 370 plugged in at the cigarette lighter(1 answer)
A: AnswerIt’s up to 120 on the lighter and 500 on the battery. I only charge one device at a time.Answered by Deerae
Q: QuestionWill this hold a charge for inside the tent?(2 answers)

Q: QuestionWhen connected to car battery, will this inverter power a 400w heater?(2 answers)
A: AnswerThis power inverter will power up to 500W. If you plan to power only the 400W heater, it supports the power requirements for that device. If you have other devices to power or charge at the same time, be sure the devices are under 100W (add up the watts to all the devices you need to power at the same time) - or consider a larger watt inverter to support your power needs.Answered by Cedar Electronics Team
Q: QuestionCan this work with solar panels ?(2 answers)
A: AnswerIt's not recommended to power the inverter from solar panels only. The inverter has a narrow input Voltage operating range requirement. The output Voltage from a solar panel can vary considerably which would not offer consistent inverter operation. Consider a solar panel + solar panel charge controller + Battery system instead and connect the inverter directly to the battery for best performance.Answered by Cedar Electronics Team
Q: QuestionWill this inverter work to power a 120 volt A.C. air mattress pump?(2 answers)

Q: Questioncan this inverter be used wirelessly?(3 answers)
A: AnswerNo, I believe it can't because it requires either an electric plug (standard socket), or USB type connectorsAnswered by Self
Q: QuestionCan this inverter be connected to a separate 12V deep cycle battery for power?(3 answers)
A: AnswerHi, yes, this inverter can be connected to any 12 volt battery you choose. You may need to buy or fashion certain connectors/adapters based on your battery terminals though. It comes with mini jumper cables (about 8 inches long). You can choose to hard wire it if you like, though in that case I would recommend an inline 30 AMP fuse just to be safe.Answered by MrHelpful
