This inverter provides household power on the go. It converts battery power to 120 V AC household power, allowing you to power up office equipment and household appliances from your vehicle. This unit is ideal for such appliances as microwave ovens (1000 watts or less), coffeemakers, laptops, TVs, video game consoles, CD and DVD players, cell phone chargers, and more.

Includes three grounded AC receptacles and 5-volt USB output. Click to enlarge.

How The Cobra Power Inverter Works
The Cobra power inverter is an electronic product that has been designed and built to take low-voltage DC (Direct Current) power from your automobile or other low-voltage power supplies and convert it to standard 115 volt AC (Alternating Current) power like the current you have in your home. This conversion process thereby allows you to use many of your household appliances and electronic products in automobiles, RVs, boats, tractors, trucks, and virtually anywhere else.

Cobra 1500 Watt Output Waveform
Some very sensitive electronic equipment might not operate satisfactorily on “square wave” or “modified sine wave” power. The output waveform of the Cobra Inverter is a “square wave” or “modified sine wave.” It is a stepped waveform designed to have characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. A waveform of this nature is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and switching power suppliers used in electronic equipment, transformers, and motors.

AC receptacles
With three ground AC receptacles, you can connect and power multiple devices at once.

USB Output
The 5-Volt USB output allows charging and operation of modern portable devices, such as iPods, BlackBerrys, and cell phones.

Remote On/Off Switch Capable
An optional Remote On/Off Switch can be connected to the Remote Jack, allowing you to turn the Cobra power inverter on or off from a convenient location when the inverter is installed out of reach.

Safety Features
The CPI 1575 will notify you with a flashing meter and alarm sound when there is a power problem, and will shut down for protection in the following situations:

  • Current Overload Protection–If the inverter is overloaded, it will shut down to protect itself.
  • Short Circuit Protection–If the AC output of the inverter is short-circuited for one second or more, it will shut down to protect itself.
  • Low Voltage Protection–If the input voltage drops to 10.0V or less, the inverter will shut down to protect itself.
  • High Voltage Protection–If the DC input voltage rises above 15.0V, the inverter will shut down to protect itself.
  • Over Temperature Protection–If the internal temperature rises to 40 degrees C (104 degrees F), the inverter will shut down to protect itself.

    Do not Buy! will not work.13 amps is actualy less than 5 goood for a couple of lights nothing else.

    I purchased this cobra 1575 watt power inverter locally as there were no generators to be found after hurricane irene struck the east coast. I wired it to my truck battery and was able to easily power my sump pump to get the 6″ of water out of my basement. Digital read out tells you how many watts you are consuming which is an excellent feature for knowing just how much more you can plug in. I only powered a sump pump which was around 700 watts. Still left me with another 875 watts to use on something else like lights, freezer, etc. Easy to operate and works great!

    I have purchased the Cobra Power Inverter 1500/3000W a while ago but never use. Recently I hooked up to the Car Battery with 6 AWG wires, 10′ long and 100 Amp Fuse inline. I am not sure why it provided hum a lot. I used it for Microwave oven with 700 Watts max. I have tried with the AC fan, it worked but I could hear the hum too. I could not locate the bill and could not remember where I bought this unit. How can I find the Service location so I can send this unit for repair?
    Thank you so much.

    I thought this was a good item to replace my 1500w shummacker inverter that i got off Tractor and Supply. since i paid about $200 for that one i figured getting the same thing for 90 bucks was a steal. and there is a reason for that. i can get past the cheap plastic and feel of the inverter, the real deal breaker was the performance, first the watt meter is a neat feature but useless and inaccurate. the iddle voltage stands to about 80v it should be 110v give or take. although under a heavy load it will climb to about 120. the fans never come on even under its maximum load. the unit will shut down once the battery voltage drops below 11.3v which means u can only use about half the capacity in your battery. and least but not last; the inverter will strugle to power a sump pump rated at about 3/4 hp (558w).
