AIMS Power Can-Size 120 Watt 12 Volt Modified Sine Power Inverter

The AIMS Power Can-Size 120 Watt 12 Volt Modified Sine Power Inverter Turns Your Cup Holder Into a Charging Station

The AIMS Power Can-Size 120 Watt 12 Volt Modified Sine Power Inverter converts 12 volt DC power from your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket into 120 volt AC power, and it does it from the one spot in your car that is usually holding a lukewarm soda. Shaped to fit any cup holder that holds a standard soda can, it stays put instead of rolling around the floorboards, so you can charge a laptop, a gaming device, a smartphone, or other electronics that need 120 watts or less while you drive. For road trippers, commuters, and anyone who works from the passenger seat, it is a simple, inexpensive way to bring a household-style outlet along for the ride.

AIMS Power Can-Size 120 Watt 12 Volt Modified Sine Power Inverter Features

Cup Holder Design So Your Inverter Stays Put

Most small inverters end up sliding under a seat or dangling from a cord. This one is designed to sit snugly in a standard can-size cup holder, keeping it upright, within reach, and out of the way of your feet. At 2.5" x 2.25" x 5.5" and just 11 ounces, it is about as unobtrusive as vehicle power gets.

120 Watts Continuous for Everyday Electronics on the Go

The inverter delivers 120 watts of continuous power, with 150 watts available for up to 2 minutes and a 450 watt maximum output. That is right-sized for the devices most people actually use in a vehicle:

• Laptops
• Gaming devices
• Smartphones
• Other electronics rated at 120 watts or less

Plug-In Installation With a 28 Inch Cigarette Lighter Cable

There is nothing to wire. Plug the 28 inch cable into your vehicle's 12 volt cigarette lighter socket, set the inverter in the cup holder, and you are ready to go. The LED power indicator lets you know at a glance when it is on.

Built-In Protections So You Can Charge With Peace of Mind

AIMS Power packs several safeguards into this small unit, plus a cooling fan to manage heat:

• Over temperature shutdown (140°F)
• Low battery shutdown (9.5V ±0.5V) to help protect your vehicle battery
• High battery shutdown (15V)
• Overload protection
• Input short circuit protection

Real-World Applications

Road trips and family travel. Keep laptops, tablets, and handheld gaming devices topped up so the backseat stays happy for the long haul.

Mobile work. Sales reps, field technicians, and rideshare drivers can charge a laptop or phone between stops without hunting for a coffee shop outlet.

Camping and tailgating. Charge small electronics from the vehicle at the campsite or the stadium lot. Keep an eye on your vehicle's battery if the engine is off, since the low battery shutdown is there as a safeguard, not a substitute for good judgment.

Emergency kit. A compact vehicle inverter is a handy way to keep phones and small electronics charged during a power outage, using the vehicle as your source.

How It Compares to Common Alternatives

Versus USB car chargers. USB chargers are great for phones, but many laptops and other devices need a standard AC plug. This inverter gives you 120 volt AC power for those devices.

Versus larger hardwired inverters. Bigger inverters connect directly to the battery and can run heavier loads, but they require installation and cabling. The can-size inverter is plug-and-play and built for light-duty charging.

Versus pure sine wave inverters. This is a modified sine wave inverter, which keeps cost down and works well with many chargers and everyday electronics. Some sensitive equipment, such as certain medical devices, audio gear, or devices with motors, may perform better on pure sine wave power. If you are unsure, check your device's requirements before purchase.

Is This Can-Size Inverter the Right Fit

• Power needs. Your device should be rated at 120 watts or less for continuous use.
• Waveform. Modified sine wave output suits many electronics, but confirm compatibility for sensitive equipment.
• Vehicle socket. You will need a working 12 volt cigarette lighter socket with an input voltage between 10 and 15 volts.
• Battery health. Running electronics with the engine off draws on your vehicle battery, so use it mindfully.

This may be a good fit if

• You want to charge a laptop, phone, or gaming device in your car
• You prefer a plug-in solution with no installation
• You want an inverter that stays put in a cup holder
• You are looking for a budget-friendly, compact power accessory
