A Complete Guide to Cobra Automotive Power Inverters

With more and more of our lives taking place online, the automotive power inverter has taken on a new importance. The Cobra power inverter lineup offers a broad range of power options, from a compact 400-watt unit to a professional-grade 2500-watt machine, allowing you to power nearly any household appliance and all your mobile devices using the power from your vehicle's battery. Both new and pre-owned Cobra power inverters are plentiful on eBay in a broad range of sizes, making it simple to find the right match for your power needs.

What power options does Cobra offer?

The Cobra power inverter full-size units are available in five different sizes. The two compact models, at 400 watts and 800 watts, are for recreational users who only want the option of charging one or two small personal electronics. The three professional models, sized at 1000, 1500, and 2500 watts, offer up enough power to run multiple appliances at one time and still have room left to top off your smartphone as well. Here are the power output specs for each model:

  • Cobra power inverter 400 watt: 400 watts continuous/800 watts peak power, two grounded 120-volt AC outlets, and a single 5-volt, 2.4-amp USB outlet.
  • Cobra power inverter 800 watt: 800 watts continuous/1600 watts peak power, two grounded 120-volt AC outlets, and a single 5-volt, 2.4-amp USB outlet.
  • Cobra power inverter 1000 watt: 1000 watts continuous/2000 watts peak power, two grounded 120-volt AC outlets, and a single 5-volt, 2.4-amp USB outlet.
  • Cobra power inverter 1500 watt: 1500 watts continuous/3000 watts peak power, three grounded 120-volt AC outlets, a single 5-volt, 2.4-amp USB outlet, and a voltage/watt meter.
  • Cobra power inverter 2500 watt: 2500 watts continuous/5000 watts peak power, three grounded 120-volt AC outlets, a single 5-volt, 2.4-amp USB outlet, and a voltage/watt meter.
How do you select the proper size Cobra power inverter?

To determine which size Cobra power inverter is right for you, you need to consider which devices you need to power and of those, which devices you expect to consume power simultaneously. Once you have your devices listed, you need to know how many watts of power each device requires to operate. Add the individual power requirements together. The resulting sum is your peak wattage. Ideally, you should select a Cobra power inverter that can provide at least 10% to 20% higher wattage than your peak need.
