I get the question quite a bit at www.outsidesupply.com, many people ask about running an air conditioner (AC) on a power inverter. Most people would like to run a window unit for a short period of time to keep something cool when there is no other power source.

My teardrop camper is a perfect example. I do not want to run my air conditioner for 24 hours, I only want to get about 3 to 4 hours of cycled run time. This gives me enough cooling to get in my teardrop camper at a rest stop and get some rest before continuing to drive. I don't do this often but on my trip to the Florida Keys it was great to have this option.

Power Inverter allows Printing on the GO!

We do a lot of printing here at Outside Supply.
So it is no surprise that we print in our vehicles. In fact we have several setups that allow different kinds of printing. In my wife's car I needed and easier solution with no cables. So I decided on a wireless inkjet printer. I used the Go Power 300 Watt Sine Wave Power Inverter to provide the clean stable power need for the printer. I used an old breakfast tray for the printing caddy. This caddy allowed for storage for labels, packing slips, and envelopes.

Wireless printing in my car was my goal. I wanted to avoid, if possible, from running a wireless router since it would require more power and more wires. I found this Great HP inkject printer with 802.11G built into the printer. I set up an Ad Hoc network and can now print using my wireless card.

A customer called Outside Supply about problems he has had with buying an inverter for his oxygen concentrator. He has purchased five inverters before calling us. None have worked. The last inverter that was sold to him was a 3000 watt model that required huge installation and connections in his vehicle. After all this trouble it did not work.

This customer was a bit timid of any recommendations but was very pleased to hear that I knew exactly why the other power inverters did not run his oxygen concentrator. I explained to him that all inverters are not alike. That there are two main kins to be exact. Sine and modified Sine Wave.

He never heard of of this before so was a bit off struck. We went over the electrical specs and I determined the full proof inverter for him was a 1000 watt True Sine Wave Power inverter. This inverter would easily handle the 4.7 amps that the oxygen concentrator used. It would also run his laptop as well.

He was a bit disappointed that he had not called us first. He advised that once it was hooked up and running. All was well and his Oxygen Concentrators Woes were no more. Outside Supply had gotten him the proper inverter for his needs, A True Sine Wave Power Inverter

Having done a decent amount of sailing, I know Sailboat Power inverters are very important for both sanity and convienence. Many larger sailboats already have solar and wind generators to keep their batteries on board charged. Harnessing this power allows the sail boat to stay more self sufficent and greener. While this is great and enviromentally friendly step, it is only good for 12 volt devices. This 12 volt system won't help out with the AC devices we all love to use. By simply Installing a nice power inverter on your sailboat, you can then convert your Sailboat's reliable battery power to AC or household power. All without having to start you on board generator. Power inverters convert you stored DC power in your batteries to AC power quietly and efficiently.

This will allow you to run items like laptops, TVs, Microwaves, and much more. Sailboat inverters range from 150 watts to 3000 watts. There are both modified and true sine models available, but I recommend true sine inverters for these applications now. We have sailboat inverters at Outside Supply that work with both 12 volt DC and 24 volt DC input voltages as well.

If you haven't added solar panels or a wind generator to your sailboat, we can help with that as well.

Check Out our selection of Sine Wave Power inverters that would be perfect for your Sailboat!

Power Inverters

Power inverters are great devices that  can really make a lot of applications easy and quiet for the RVer. A lot of time when an Rver wants to run his or her  microwave when drycamping, they need to power up their generator. This is both noisy and requires fuel. Once an RVer installs a power inverter in their unit, they can just go ahead and run that microwave off their RV's batteries. Outside Supply carries a full line of power inverters and accessories to get the job done right with strong reliable equipment.

A power inverter is a device that converters DC power to AC power, or in simple terms, Battery Power to Household Electricity. A good clean power inverter will allow you to run a variety of electronics ranging from laptops, TVs, Microwaves, Coffee Pots and more off your batteries.
