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.
