How many watts, or amps?


I'm not exactly sure off the top of my head, but I seem to remember
400 watts. It's been fine for AC power tool battery chargers,
entertainment devices, my Icom handheld charger, reasonable
worklights, etc... Air conditioners, electric ovens, compressors,
and washing machines are out, but so what? G


Read the fine print before you continue to use it to recharge power tool
batteries. My inverter said do not use for chargers that hive a high
potentieal voltage, until the battery places a load on it, and it begins to
regulate. They may damage the charger.

Guess what. I didn't listen, and used a DeWalt charger; once, I got away
with. The second time, it quit working, and has not worked since.
