Portronics launches what is said to be the first ever car inverter “CarPower One.”  This multifunctional device is meant to help you to easily charge your laptops, audio speakers, and other devices under 200W within the car. The fast charging option of Car Power One allows you to quickly charge your smartphones, iPads, DSLRs, and other electronic devices.

CarPower One is said to be a sturdy, well designed and elegant 12V DC/220V AC 200W car power inverter with dual port USB 5v/3.4A.  It is built with high-grade fire-resistant plastic. With cup-holder friendly design, ‘CarPower One’ inverter should fit perfectly in vehicles’ cup holders. It comes with a dust and liquid protection lid which can be used while the device is not in use.

‘CarPower One’ has an LED that gives you the status of the device; connected, charging or disconnected. There is a 2 feet (24 inches) cord which connects this device with car’s inbuilt cigarette lighter socket / charging unit. It is also bundled with the cooling fan to dissipate the heat from the device. It is recommended to keep the ignition on while using CarPower One to minimalize the load on car’s battery.

With over current, over voltage and over-heat protection and auto-shutdown on higher loads, you can safely charge a range of devices (below 200W) and gadgets while you are on the road, as told by the company. This in-car inverter can only be used with 12v DC (not 24V).

‘CarPower One’ car inverter is available at Rs 3499 in both online and offline stores.
