BHPian sumannandy<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n I have recently purchased a 200W DC to AC inverter from Amazon. I wanted to know if it is safe to use this in EV Max. The adapter comes with a car cable and it has two AC ports and a few USB ports.<\/p>\n I would like to charge laptops while on the move.<\/p>\n Thanks in advance.<\/p>\n Here’s what BHPian SKC-auto<\/strong> had to say about the matter:<\/p>\n I just checked the NEV Max review. The watts is not mentioned on the 12V outlet, also checked the Honda Elevate review, the max wattage is 180W on the 12V outlet.<\/p>\n Since you wanted to use a 200W converter, I believe you should know the wattage of the 12V outlet before connecting.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here’s what BHPian GrammarNazi<\/strong> had to say about the matter:<\/p>\n What is the Car Charger Power outlet rated at? Check the manual. Ideally don’t think it should be an issue if you’re going to use it to charge a laptop or 2-3 phones.<\/p>\n I have been using a Belkin Car Inverter with my ICE car for 8+ years to charge my parent’s tablets & my brother’s phone while travelling.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here’s what BHPian sumannandy<\/strong> replied:<\/p>\n The car inverter is rated at 200W but the laptop charger is rated at 65W. I checked in the manual and it says the stated load is 12V 10A. So although the DC to AC adapter is rated at 200W, I hope it should be fine to just charge a laptop (65W).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here’s what BHPian Turbanator<\/strong> had to say about the matter:<\/p>\n It’s not about your inverter but the point where you will draw that 12V from the car. You should be aware of the load your 12V socket can handle.<\/p>\n However, if the final load is only a laptop charger – 65 Watt, even though your inverter is 200 W, it will draw only 65 Watt, so you should be good. Also, most inverters will have a fuse that should trip before anything goes wrong.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n Source: Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The car inverter is rated at 200W but the laptop charger is rated at 65W.
