As a lawyer whose practice services three rural counties, I spend much of my time on the road destined for far-flung courthouses and district attorney’s offices. Although my secretary is generally on the ball, she occasionally forgets to supply me with all of the necessary paperwork for these road trips. Luckily I’ve learned to scan all of the documentation onto my laptop.
If it turns out I need to print anything out, I utilize a portable power inverter. The inverter converts DC power from my car battery into AC power that I can use to plug in a printer or laptop. As a result, I’m never left stranded without the papers I need to work on a given case. This is particularly handy because many of the places I work lack easy Internet access.
Provide various protections for your appliances. A power inverter will safeguard your electrical devices with voltage, short-circuit and overload protection. Manufactured by the Whistler Group, Inc. the mobile power inverter comes in 200, 1000 and 3000-watt units. It converts 12V DC to 110V AC.
Other features include:
~Automobile cigarette lighter plug/connector
~60Hz frequency
~Smart surge control
~Voltage protection
~Thermal cutoff circuitry
