    Looking for Info on my bed plug. Going on a camping trip and may need to use it.

    What these difference between 100w vs 400w?
    Can it be used to charge things while driving?
    About how long can I use small devices plugged in before the battery dies?
    Never used it or know anyone that has so any tips/info will be helpful.

    So its basically useless other than charging a phone?
    Thats what I'm getting out of the other thread. A few things MIGHT work but otherwise worthless.

    its really a phone/power tool battery charger. You could power a tv while tailgating, run a cooler if its 120v while driving. Ive run a crockpot on the way to tailgating. If power while off is a want, buy a deep cycle and a larger inverter. A car battery is never going to provide long term power to an inverter while off.

    It's pretty worthless imo. A small microwave is 700 watts. You can get a deep cycle batter and run an inverter if you want more functional capability.

    Power=Current x Voltage.

    Power/Current=Voltage
    Power/Voltage=Current.

    100 watts / 120 Volts AC = .83 amps

    400 watts / 120 volts AC = 3.33 amps
