How Your Cobra® Power

Inverter Works

The Cobra® Power Inverter takes low voltage DC (direct current) power from your automobile or other low voltage power supply and converts it to standard 110 volt AC (alternating current) power like the electrical current you have in your home. You can connect your power inverter either with the 2 foot direct-to-battery 12 gauge cable (included) or simply by plugging into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket. This will allow you to use many of your household appliances and electronic products in automobiles, RVs, boats, tractors, trucks, and virtually anywhere else.
