Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Cobra® CPI 800 inverter. Properly used, this Cobra® product will give you many years of reliable service.

How Your Cobra® Power Inverter Works

The Cobra® Power Inverter is an electronic product that has been designed and built to take low voltage DC (Direct Current) power from your automobile or other low voltage power supplies and CONVERT it to standard 115 Volt AC (Alternating Current) power like the current you have in your home. This conversion process thereby allows you to use many of your household appliances and electronic products in automobiles, RVs, boats, tractors, trucks and virtually anywhere else.
