Tools and Hardware Reviews of Xantrex Technologies 851-0801 XPower 800-Watt Micro Inverter
Customer Review: Useful globetrotter
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this inverter to use my laptop/phone charger/GPS in my truck. It works really well as described. Three things:
- Be prepared in case of overheating the inverter automatically shuts off(computer, saving data).
- There is a processor checking the car/truck battery level and when it becomes too low for the next start, turns the device off. Sounds good but can be wrong(don't turns off in time!). Use this feature with caution, experience the consumption of your devices and the battery power- find the balance. The safest thing is still the running engine!
- The two sockets are too close together. A wide phone charger blocks the other one.
I've been using mine since 3 years without any problem.
