DieHard 71522 140W Power Inverter: Unleash Unlimited Mobile Power! Review

Used this converter for several years until the insert cracked. That was hard. So he pulled out the cigarette lighter that needed fixing.

My DieHard 140 watt inverter caught fire while powering my kids' appliances on a family trip. Smoke filled my Toyota Sienna on a central Illinois highway. It turned out that everything was fine. No accidents or lost devices, but the inverter was definitely locked.

I bought this once on a trip to K-Mart (yes, you read that right K-Mart!). He, the packaging and the store are clearly relics of the distant past. The fan was noisy and noisy, the USB never worked, and the device charged at best twice as fast (randomly shutting down for no reason) and only under reduced load (*barely* 50-70W, nothing more). So ok, but nothing more. Back then I had it all and it worked for me in a pinch. But make no mistake, it's always been a piece of junk.

It is a handy little device and it serves its purpose. And you can also use this Diehard 140W Power Inverter for other purposes, not only for the cigarette lighter in your car. or truck. I hooked up this Diehard 140W Power Inverter to my Diehard Gold Portable Power 950 during the recent power outage and then hooked up a 100W fluorescent light to it. It worked like magic and I had real light from a working lamp in my house until power came back a few hours later. I've used it to power my CPAP…

I was satisfied with this inverter for car use. It worked both while driving on the road and when camping with the engine running. The DieHard inverter comes in a hard plastic case that needs to be opened with a knife. Once you've removed the inverter, all you have to do is plug it into your car's cigarette lighter socket and plug the other end into the device you want to charge. The small fan inside the inverter can be heard as white noise. Not very loud, but noticeable. A small green light…

Plus: Safe, works, doesn't give off fumes that make me sick - yet (unlike some others). Fits tightly in the nest and will not fall out. It hasn't melted or even warmed up yet. It has over and under voltage protection that can be reset by unplugging and plugging it back in, and an indicator light. Minus: It only turns off automatically when the battery is completely discharged. This destroys deep cycle batteries. They should only be allowed to discharge to 50%, which is 12.06 volts under load…
