Would like to get suggestions sana on good brands and where to buy.
Planning to use one for a digital TV box (not ABS-CBN TV Plus). Input power is either 220V AC or 5V DC lang kasi, unlike the 12V DC TV Plus.

TIA

RCA has a 5V digital tuner which you can plug to a USB slot

You can convert your 12V cigarette lighter slot into USB slot

There are items that double your cigarette lighter slot, 1 for your lcd and the other for the usb

Solar panels will last you a long time until a storm takes it away from you

Batteries should be a huge concern though, utilize it for deep cycle application and its warranty goes down to 6months. Im not sure how long it will last though. Typically for automotive application it lasts 3 years, but i dont expect it to last that long for deep cycle operation

yun mga nabebenta ba na tig 1k -1.5k sa olx for 500 watts, pwede na for mobile phone and laptop charging?

yun mga 500w maingay dahil sa cooling fan. i have a feeling hindi 500w yan hehehe. also make sure your 12v socket can provide enough amps baka matrip yun fuses.

Dont plug a 500w inverter into your cigarette lighter. You will blow the fuses. Thats what happened to me when i was experimenting with ny ps4 setup in the car. You Will need to attach it directly to your battery.

Most cigarette lighters can only give out 120W. On some cars this is written on the socket covet (12V 10A).

Thats exactly what blew up all my fuses. Though it was used to power up the ps4. A phone charger is a diff story.
