Re: Power Inverters

Reading the stuff on the web link your provided states that the led should be green if ok and red if there's a fault, the transformer for the USB will be different to the mains as its going down in voltage rather than up which is obviously easier.

For that truck i might have to get a Hella to 12V converter to plug this inverter into
