Run cool boxes, portable fridges and other 12V kit from a domestic socket without needing a running engine. Steady 12V output keeps appliances operating within their intended voltage range.

Safer operation for connected kit - with integrated overload and short-circuit protection

Built-in safety features include overload protection, over and under working voltage protection and short-circuit protection, which monitor and react to unsafe electrical conditions.

Protection mechanisms reduce risk to both appliances and mains wiring, making it suitable for unattended use such as in a caravan or small workshop. Peace of mind when powering sensitive 12V equipment.

Straightforward setup and use - with a standard UK plug and cigarette lighter socket

Standard UK three-pin mains plug connects to household sockets, while the output accepts a cigarette lighter style 12V plug, requiring only that the car-style connector is inserted after mains connection.
