The 12/180 has a 12v cigar connector.
Can't find a comparable price though.

30amps is a lot to expect from a cigarette lighter socket

who said i planned to run it at full load?

Valid point.

My laptop has a 240 watt charger, too much to run through a cigarette lighter. I always assume worst case usage when hooking something up.

Hi LittleBill,

You will need to do an adapter of some kind. The Victron comes with #8 wire (or maybe #6) which goes inside the case.

I'm going to try running it on cigarette lighter, too, but will limit my demand to a laptop and heating pad.

I'm concerned about the inrush current.

I went with the krieger Mod sin. UL and CSA standard...

1100 watts is really all you should need..

$77 bucks and 3 year warranty...

The red BESTek unit? I would pass on that unit. I doubt it could really supply 1000 watts continuously. No UL, no FCC, no mention of pure sine wave ... and only 5 lbs? Even if they're using newer high frequency designs, the transformers should still be heavier than that.

For modified sine, I like the advertisement for the orange Ampeak unit that shows up looking at the BESTek ... ETL tested, they're not the UL but better than nothing. Nice sturdy input terminals, volt meter built in, support for a remote, and best of all the advertisement is up front about it being a modified sine unit. On the flipside, only 3.4 pounds??? Sheesh

Victron has some very interesting products,, They have been around for several years and I do not recall reading any complaints about them.. Most of what I read is posts like the original here.. Telling us about products.

to the OP.. Bookmarked for later purchase.
