Review on πŸ’‘ Energizer 500W Power Inverter + 48W USB Ports, Modified Sine Wave Car Inverter, 12V to 110V, Dual AC Outlets, 2.4A Four USB Ports - UL Certified (458 METLab) by Brian Samuel

When it worked, it worked well

The device ran for 30 minutes before the fuse inside it blew. The DC plug has a fuse that must be replaced if it blows. I connected this device from the DC plug of a portable car battery jumper to a portable AC film projector. The projector, this unit and my car charger ran for a full 30 minutes before the unit's fuse blew. I don't know if this device can handle 500W. The fuse was clearly separated in the middle of it. I replaced the fuse with one provided by Energizer and everything came back to life. We'll see tomorrow if it explodes again. I hope they used the right fuse value. I should have checked, but I didn't. The DC plug felt very hot, which probably contributed to the blown fuse. This unit can draw too much current, although it can handle 500W, the DC plug-in fuse may not meet this specification.

Pros
  • Test for a year
Cons
  • Protection
