12-Volt automobile and marine ba eries or from portable high power 12-Volt sources. Our ATD-5951 inverter has dual 110V AC outlets, and 2 USB outlets rated at 3.1A for powering laptops, video game systems, DVD players, cell phones, tablets and many other USB devices.
Lead Acid Safety Warnings WARNING: WORKING AROUND LEAD-ACID BATTERIES MAY BE DANGEROUS. Lead-acid ba eries release explosive gases during normal oper on, charging and jump star ng. All lead-acid eries (car, truck and boat) produce hydrogen gas which may violently explode in the presence of re or sparks.
115V AC in your house. Keep children away from the unit. WARNING: ATD Tools, Inc. does not authorize or recommend this inverter or any related products to be used with life support devices or systems.

Inverter Protec n Features corrected, the inverter can be restarted. Note This How Power Inverters Work There are two stages in which a power inverter changes the 12-Volt DC (or ba ery) power into 110V AC (household current). STAGE 1: The inverter uses a DC-to-DC converter to increase the DC input voltage from the power source to 145 volts DC.
