75 WATT Power Inverter....How much power is this??

Question

Hi Guys. I'm looking at this small 12v car lighter to 120v power converter...it just says it has 75 watts though...

Its pretty small as well...my question is, What could this be used to power?? would it only have enough juice to pretty much run my phone charger, or would it have enough power to run my computer/portable dvd player etc??

Answer 1

it is 75 watts, that is how much power it will provide.

look at that device you want to plug into the inverter, there are specs on the device, they usually read something like this:

100~240VAC 60Hz 55W

55W is less than the maximum of 75W so you can use this device in the inverter. If it is rated high than 75W, then the answer would be no.
