Xantrex Technologies XPower Pocket Mobile Power Source 100-Watt Inverter #813-0081-00

110V for your car (2009-04-10)
Xantrex is the number one inverter maker in the Americas. It's cheaper than buying all kinds of adaptors to power devices in your car. You can charge your laptop or phone while you drive, even re-charge batteries or power devices. (How to get more out of a gallon of gas.) The power cord on these (they make the duracell branded versions too) is proprietary. They have them in their online store but guess what. It's cheaper to buy a close out unit and throw away the charger to get a new adaptor cable for a more expensive unit.

Great for using my laptop in the car (2008-08-30)
This works really well with my laptop in the car. Glad I bought it.

good (2008-08-28)
works as advertised, I keep it plugged in all the time when I do that sometimes the connected devices get re-started when i turn on the ignition it happens with my music player. Otherwise no issues

Does the job (2008-08-24)
As others have commented, this device feels solid and does the job. I appreciate having one AC outlet and a USB charger port, allowing you to charge 2 devices at once. It does get hot, but it doesn't seem unsafe at all. I use it on airplanes, especially long international trips.

Not exactly what is shown on the Xantrex Website (2008-08-02)
Got this unit because I was tired of paying $15 to $30 for a cell phone Car Charger every time my wife or I got a new cell phone(why can't these guys standardize?? Ohh...I think I know see, $30 per car charger).
This way we could use the always supplied AC cell phone charger.

The Xantrex site shows this model is now with a set of battery clips and also and ON/OFF switch. This was actually more useful to me and really liked the idea of a power switch.

Well it arrived and but had the above described airline power port and no Power Switch. Oh well, not what I was hoping for and I assume there are alot of older units in the Amazon Warehouse still but at somepoint they may change and not sure they willupdate the description since the P/N is the same.

Too bad Xantrex couldn't change the P/N for this since the design and options has changed.

But it works well, does get a tad warm so I would be worried if it got buried under a bunch of stuff(paper), but it has an overtemp shutdown so I have to trust them and also play it safe too.

Well worth the cost paid as it's less than one Cell Phone Car Charger!
