Thanks all, I figured I was good but wanted to be sure. The inverter is only going to be powered by an ignition positive source to power a few phone chargers so I'm not too concerned about draining the battery. But it is good to know about the limitations.
Why use a 12V to 120V inverter to go to 5V USB to charge a phone?
You can go direct from 12V to 5V with one of these..

$10 for a 2.4A two USB port cig port charger..

2.4A will handle pretty much any phone or Tablet with ease.
Save the inverter for much heavier 120V loads..
