200 W Car Inverter with Cup Holder

The Tripp Lite PV200CUSB plugs into a 12 V DC cigarette-lighter socket and delivers 200 W continuous and 400 W peak AC power. Two NEMA 5-15R outlets and two USB ports (2.1 A and 1.0 A) let you run or charge up to four devices at once. The compact cup-holder design fits in a standard vehicle holder for stable placement.

Suits road-warrior charging, not heavy loads

Drivers who need laptop, tablet, phone or small entertainment power on the move will find the outlet mix convenient. The 200 W continuous limit rules out appliances such as kettles, heaters or large gaming rigs. Buyers who want more continuous watts or a hard-wired installation should look at something else.

200 W continuous output decides fit

The single figure that determines whether this inverter matches your gear is the 200 W continuous rating. Add the wattage of every device you plan to run simultaneously; if the total stays at or below 200 W the unit will handle it, otherwise it will not.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the PV200CUSB and what do I need to buy separately?

The box contains the PV200CUSB inverter, warranty information and the owner's manual. No extra cables or adapters are required because the unit plugs directly into a 12 V DC cigarette-lighter socket.

How do I choose between the two USB ports on this inverter?

One USB port supplies up to 2.1 A and the other up to 1.0 A; use the 2.1 A port for tablets or larger phones and the 1.0 A port for smaller devices.

What does the 200 W continuous rating mean when I plug devices into the two AC outlets?

The inverter delivers up to 200 W continuously at 120 V AC from both outlets combined, with a 400 W peak for short surges; total draw of all connected AC devices must stay at or below 200 W.
