inverter

[crump]

I want an inverter that will run my mobile charger while I'm on the road, the charger is the transformer thingy that you plug into the wall and snap the phone into the cradle, SO will the one in the emporium do the job, thanks.

That will do the job but you can get higher output inverters for less - i got a 400w continuos one for $70 off ebay.

Bloody AULRO site rippin off the unsuspecting https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ no dont need more power thats all I can envisage using it for and couldnt be arsed hooking up a permanent charger, just be handy on trips when I cant get to a power point.

there is a reason they are so cheap..... a quick search will reveal it all....

if you are charging something that charges it's own battery you need a true sine wave unit, and there are two types of true sine wave inverter, high freq and low freq. the low freq are the most robust and the most reliable. not to mention having the best waveform.

the one in the emporium is a high quality low freq unit that is built to last and not kill your electronic toys evenin harsh environments...

so is that what I need???

Only the PSU500 is pure sine wave and its overkill for Crumps needs, still reckon a $60-$70 jaycar or whatever will do the trick.

It ain't worth the grief when you blow your mobile phone battery or laptop or camera batteries of anything else you choose to plug in.

IMHO pure sine wave is the only to go....unless you are prepared to risk the appliance you are wanting to charge.

The cheap inverter will do just fine and around $60-$70 will get you a 300W version. A true sign wave 300W will put you back about $250. With the increased power consumption on modern laptops a true sine wave is the only way to go, for anything less than this just go cheap cheap cheap.

Be aware though, some models advertise a dual output, another words two(2) power outlets, in most cases the spacing is too small and you can only get one plug in anyway.

as long as it is pure sine wave.

no argument that the psu500 in the emporium is an overkill for that particular job alone.

Why not buy a $20 mobile phone charger that plugs into the cigarette lighter?

because I never thought of that :oops: :oops: :oops: thanks.

go a good little inverter anyway, I run lamps and all kinds of gear from mine,
handy little bit of kit

Yeh, just checked ot out, cant get one for the phone anyway as its not a plug in charger.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. What brand/model phone do you have?

had it about 10yrs, LGC-800W, the charger is a cradle that connects to 2 electrodes at base, place up here only sells plug in type chargers, no drama its an excuse to buy another gadget. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Time to buy a phone from this century me thinks !

[crump]

why, it still works??? Once telstra drops CDMA there wil be no point in me having a mobile at all, but at least all the ppl in the cities wil be able to get better net access on their phones, and better quality games. :evil:
