POWER BOOSTER!
Includes built-in charger for optional overnight recharging
of vehicle battery from shore power!
Quiet, Economical Mobile Power…
Congratulations! You've purchased one of the most advanced, feature-rich Inverters designed for utility/work truck applications. Tripp Lite Utility/Work Truck
Inverters provide quiet, convenient mobile power for every application: computers, TVs, electronic test equipment, power tools, pumps, compressors, blowers,
lights, power supplies, radios, cell phone chargers and more. Since Tripp Lite Inverters draw power directly from vehicle batteries, they are the quiet, economical
power alternative in residential environments or late-night job sites—without the noise, fumes, capital outlays, maintenance costs and occasional power overkill
of generators! For generator-equipped trucks, they provide crews with the option of silent power.*
…With Optional Power-Boosting Functionality
In today's cost-cutting climate, fleet managers must get the most out of every vehicle—keeping trucks in the field longer, operating an ever-growing array of
power tools. Standard vehicle alternators and batteries, however, often can't keep up with the increased power demand. When alternators recharge batteries at
a slower rate than they are discharged, that leaves a power deficit for the next day's jobs and dramatically shortens battery service life. Tripp Lite Utility/Work
Truck Inverters, with the addition of a built-in battery charger, help to overcome this power deficit. When optionally connected to shore power at the end of the
day, Tripp Lite Utility/Work Truck Inverters quickly and safely recharge vehicle batteries, ensuring that maximum power is available for the next day's service
schedule.** In addition, Tripp Lite Utility/Work Truck Inverters out-muscle other inverters on the market with peak power—handling tough loads like motors,
compressors and incandescent lamps with ease.
