If you load it beyond that, an internal fuse in the electrical panel of the car may blow off.<\/strong> I can also run my extra computer monitors in the radio room with it. It has additional USB ports for charging mobile phones, tabs and other USB and USB-PD compatible devices. In the radio room, I am using a 105 Ah lithium iron phosphate battery and a car cigarette lighter socket to connect to the car inverter. This minimalistic setup is to avoid using 1150W inverter when I do not need so much power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the affiliate links for buying from Amazon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> 200W Car Power Inverter\/Laptop Charger with 3 USB <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4pacX9P\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/4pacX9P<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">12V Waterproof Cigarette Lighter Socket: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4rzuYA8\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/4rzuYA8<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please note that if you buy from these links, Amazon will pay me a tiny bit as an affiliate, without any extra cost to the buyer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am using a 200W car inverter to run the pedestal fan in my radio room.
