QuestionUSB-C port not working have tried different cables and different devices and does not work. Yes inverter is on. Is there a certain way to turn the USB ports on?
Asked 11 months ago by Stxguy.
- Answer Thank you for your question. If your USB-C port is not working, there are several things you can check. First, ensure that your Power Inverter is connected properly and consider power cycling it if needed. Next, inspect the USB-C cable you’re using to make sure it isn’t damaged and that it’s securely connected to both the inverter and your device. Also, check if the Power Inverter is displaying any error messages, as this could indicate that you need to reduce the load. To assist you further, we would need more details about the issue. Please contact us at 800-543-1608, and we’ll be happy to help you.

QuestionI’m trying to invest in power for my starlink mini and wondering if this 500W Inverter could power my starlink mini in my vehicle while traveling state to state or hotel to hotel?
Asked 1 year ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Thank you for your question. The Cobra 500W Power Inverter is ideal for small appliances and entertainment devices. To determine the requirements, you will need to know the Watts of your device. This can be calculated by multiplying the Amps by 110 Volts. This can normally be found on the product label. If only the Amperage is provided, then multiply the Amps by 115 to determine the power in Watts. For help with determining the requirements, please feel free to contact us at 800-543-1608 or visit the owner's manual here: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2203/2035/files/500W_Web_Manual.pdf?v=1597236095

QuestionWhat's the difference in the sine outputs? What devices does it affect? And why?
Asked 1 year ago by Sinewaves.
- Answer Thank you for your question. Pure Sine wave power is closer to what you would get from a standard AC outlet in your house. However, producing a Pure Sine wave is more energy-intensive compared to producing a Modified Sine wave, which is adequate for about 90% of situations. The Modified Sine wave is a good compromise between efficiency and compatibility.
