The Atomi 150W Car Power Inverter is a mobile power station designed to keep your electronic devices charged and ready while on the go. It offers a versatile charging solution for a wide range of devices, from smartphones and tablets to laptops and gaming consoles, by converting your vehicle's 12-volt power into usable AC and USB power.
Function Description:
The primary function of this device is to provide power outlets and USB charging ports in a vehicle, allowing users to charge or power multiple electronic devices simultaneously. It converts the DC power from a car's 12-volt outlet into AC power (110V) and provides multiple USB charging options, including USB-C and Ai-smart charge USB ports. This makes it suitable for various scenarios, such as long road trips, camping, or simply daily commuting, ensuring that essential devices remain powered. The inverter is designed to deliver quick and efficient charging, making it a practical accessory for anyone needing to power electronics away from traditional wall outlets.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Input: 12VDC, 20A Max. This indicates that the inverter draws power from a standard 12-volt car power outlet and has a maximum current draw of 20 amperes.
- AC Output: 110V~60Hz 150W Max. The inverter provides alternating current (AC) at 110 volts and 60 hertz, with a maximum continuous power output of 150 watts. This wattage is suitable for many small to medium-sized electronics but may not be sufficient for high-power appliances.
- USB and USB-C Output: 5V DC 2.4A (each port). Each USB and USB-C port delivers direct current (DC) at 5 volts with a maximum current of 2.4 amperes. This is a standard output for fast charging many smartphones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices.
- Output Current: 4.8A max (total for USB ports). This specifies the maximum combined current output for all USB ports.
- Outlets and Ports: The device features 2 AC 110V outlets, 2 USB-C ports, and 2 Smart Charge USB ports, allowing for a total of up to six devices to be connected simultaneously (2 AC + 4 USB).
Usage Features:
- Easy Connection: To use the inverter, simply connect it to your vehicle's 12-volt power outlet.
- Automatic Charging: Once connected, you can plug in up to two USB and two USB-C devices, and they will start charging automatically.
- AC Outlet Control: The AC outlets can be turned on or off by pressing and holding the power button for 3 seconds.
- Status Indicator Light: A charge-indicator light provides visual feedback on the status of the AC outlets:
- Blue: Indicates that the AC outlets are turned on and working normally.
- Red (1s flashing): Indicates that the car battery voltage is either too high (above 15V) or too low (below 11V). In this case, the device should be unplugged immediately.
- Red (0.5s flashing): Indicates overheat protection has been activated (above 203°F). The device should be unplugged immediately.
- Vehicle Compatibility: The product should only be used in vehicles with a 12V battery. Using it with anything above 12V may cause irreversible damage.
- Engine Start Requirement: It is recommended to start the vehicle engine before turning on the AC output for the inverter to function correctly. If the inverter doesn't work, recharging the car battery and checking connections/cables are suggested troubleshooting steps.
- Device Compatibility: The inverter is capable of charging various devices, including tablets/laptops, mobile phones, MP3 players, cameras, sports cameras, and gaming consoles.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: The inverter should only be cleaned with a dry cloth.
- Environmental Precautions: Do NOT use the inverter near water or expose it to rain or moisture. Do NOT use it near open flames, heat sources, radiators, or stoves.
- Safety Warnings:
- Risk of electric shock: Grounding continuity must be maintained.
- For connections to non-U.S.A. supplies, an appropriate attachment plug adapter may be required.
- Always check if the output voltage and current of the power supply are suitable for the product before use.
- Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
