Tools and Hardware Reviews of Whistler PI-400W 400 Watt Power Inverter

Customer Review: GREAT VALUE! excelent product!
Summary: 5 Stars

ok,..well this is my first day with it, if i have problems later on i guess ill have to update this review but so far heres what we have.

Construction is pretty solid, well made all aluminium housing.
right now im using this and a 12v batter to power my cable modem, router, skype phone and Laptop (Asus EEE 901). Hooked up to a battery tender it seems to be going strong for an hour now.
(im using a 12v SLA 12AH)


The cooling fan KICKS MASSIVE amounts of air..its a strong gust of wind coming out of this thing. Of course its noisy, these inverters are not supposed to be left on all the time so its perfectly understandable. and hey...having a super fan inside this thing will keep heat down..and heat kills. So its the price you have to pay for having something that you wish to function for years and years.

i woudl recommend this to everyone

UPDATE, i am now using a 12 Volt 245 Ah...
thats right i said 245 AH battery...this thing with the right power inverter has the juice to power a PC for a VERY long time.

Maybe ill buy that Cobra 3000watt power inverter next and see what that can do with this battery..
