FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How many amps does 300 watts draw at 120V? +
300 Watts / 120 Volts = 2.50 Amps.
How many amps is 300W at 12V? +
300 Watts / 12 Volts = 25.0 Amps. This requires heavy 10 AWG wire to prevent fire and voltage drop.
Will a 300W inverter run off a cigarette lighter? +
Most car cigarette lighter sockets are fused at 10A or 15A (max 120W to 180W). A 300W inverter drawing 25A will blow the fuse and must be clamped directly to the battery terminals.
