How To Operate Amazon Basics IT020343C Car Power Inverter User Manual
Smartphones, tablets, and laptops can all be powered by the 1000-watt DC to AC Amazon Basics 1000W Car Power Inverter. A user handbook, a ring cable, and a 70-inch remote control cord are included. In addition, the inverter features one USB charging connector and two AC outlets. An electrical device called a power inverter transforms DC power into AC power for usage in homes. The car battery’s low DC power is first transformed into high direct power, which is subsequently converted into alternative power for the home.

Operation
CAUTION Risk of damage!
- Make sure to connect the red cable to the positive terminal (+) and the black cable to the negative terminal (-). A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative) blows a fuse and may permanently damage the product.
- Loose connectors result in an excessive voltage drop and may result in overheated wires and melted insulation.
NOTICE
- Disconnect the lighter plug or the ring connectors of the cables (J/K) from the battery whenever the engine is switched off for extended periods of time. In some vehicles, the power does not turn off after the engine has been switched off. If the product is left connected, the vehicle battery might become discharged or damaged.
- The product works best with a battery that is in good condition and fully charged.
- Position the product on a flat and stable surface in a dry and well-ventilated location.
Checking the wattage of the devices to be connected
CAUTION Risk of damage!
- Make sure that the total wattage of the devices to be connected does not exceed the maximum load of the respective outlet. The product automatically shuts down in the
event of a power overload. - Only use the product with the provided cable. For loads under 100 W, use the cigarette lighter cable (L). For loads between 100 W and 750 W, use the cables with ring connectors (J and K) for direct connection.
Connecting the product to a lighter socket
CAUTION Risk of damage!
- The total loads of the connected devices must be under 100 W.
- Always switch the product off and disconnect the cigarette lighter plug from the lighter socket when the product is not in use.
- Unscrew the red terminal cap (F). Place the red cable connector of the cigarette lighter cable (L) on the red positive terminal (+) (E) with its tip fitted to the slot.
- Tighten the red terminal cap (F) to clamp the cable connector securely.
- Unscrew the black terminal cap (H). Place the black cable connector of the cigarette lighter cable (L) on the black negative terminal (-) (1) with its tip fitted to the slot.
- Tighten the black terminal cap (H) to clamp the cable connector securely.
- Connect the cigarette lighter plug to the lighter socket of the vehicle. Make sure the plug is fully inserted. The product is ready for use when the battery indicator on display (A) lights up green.
Frequently Asked Questions
An electrical device that transforms DC power into AC power for homes is called a power inverter. To be more precise, the vehicle inverter transforms low DC power from the car battery into high direct power first, and then it converts that high direct power into alternative power for the home.
The DC voltage needs to remain constant. Every vehicle power inverter has a DC voltage of 12V, 24V, or another figure. The battery voltage chosen needs to match the DC input voltage of the vehicle inverter. A 12V automobile inverter, for instance, has to choose a 12V battery.
In 1.7664 hours, a 12V battery can run a 500W inverter (92% efficiency) when connected to it. These are the techniques used to determine battery life.
Using a power inverter will damage a car’s battery. However, if you utilize it correctly, the impact is so small that you and your gadgets won’t be at any risk.
The typical drain on your batteries when your inverter is left on without a load attached is 1 amp per hour, 24 amps per day, or 168 amps over a week. Since the battery drain is eliminated when the inverter is not in use, turning it off is the easiest way to solve this problem.
Yes, as long as you don’t utilize more energy than the alternator produces. While driving it to my new home, I used an inverter to run a full refrigerator.
Using a smart plug or standard switch, connect the inverter’s main power supply to the usual main power supply and turn it off. Now, the bypass and relay will both go off when the battery or solar power is sufficient.
Any corded vacuum will draw too much power from the inverter, and even if it does, the wiring in your car isn’t made to handle it. By the way, inverters that claim to be 250 watts or more should only make such claims if they are connected directly to the car battery.
