Here is a question I am often asked at OutsideSupply.com
Can I run a 1000 watt inverter from my Car Power Inverters Cigarette Plug?
The answer is pretty simple, NO. This is because the loads required to run a 1000 watt power inverter would quickly blow fuses in car cigarette lighter plug circuit. The DC load can reach almost 100 AMPS on a 12 volt DC inverter rated at 1000 watts. Of course and inverter only draws power based on the actual load, a large load will cause problems.
Here is a great inverter that work well with Car Cigarette Lighter Plug connectors.
