Wagan Tech uses top quality components and reliable MOSFET transistors – the key factor in reliable inverter manufacturing.TrueRated PowerTrueRated Power is Wagan Tech's coined term for truth in advertising and performance. While actual output wattage of competitor’s inverters varies greatly, Wagan Tech inverters help consumers to understand and trust that the number printed on the inverter is the actual output of the device.Nearly all of Wagan Tech's Inverters feature TrueRated Power. Simply put, our inverters are tested at full load and will sustain that continuous load for 24 hours at the wattage printed on the inverter.For example, our Elite 400 Watt Pro Inverter will run for 24 hours straight with a 400 Watt load. Our competitors claim “continuous wattage” when in fact most are only rated at 20 minutes of “continuous” wattage. After 20 minutes, the competitor’s output wattage will drop down by as much as 25% of their claimed wattage (in a 400 watt inverter, that can be a 100 watt loss!).500 Watt ApplicationsIn your vehicle, boat, motorcycle, RV, truck, Camper, tail-gating, camping, kid’s soccer games, or anywhere you need to turn DC (battery) power into AC (household) power is where the AC Inverter 500W will shine! 500 continuous watts means that you can run your appliance without worry of the AC Inverter 500W letting you down like lesser inverters.What It DoesIf you are apprehensive of using an inverter, don’t be! Inverters simply convert DC current to AC current; in simple terms, it allows you to use your home (AC) appliances using your vehicle’s (DC) electricity. Want to use your blender, box fan, microwave*, TV*, radio, computer*, or just charge your devices while camping or tail-gating? An AC Inverter will allow you to do just that!Connecting an inverter is equally as easy; usually it is just two color-coded wires screwed on to your vehicle's battery. That's it!Check out Wagan's blog if you’d like more info on selecting the right inverter for your needs: Wagan Tech Inverter Blog - Understanding Inverters and How-to Select one that is right for youQuick List of Features 500 Watts Continuous TrueRated Power 1000 Watt Surge Power 2.1A USB Power Port Built-in Safety Protections Thermal Fan Cooled Low Battery Alarm + Automatic Shut-down Built-in Mounting points Neutral to Ground Bonded/True Ground
