AC outlet, those that have it, what are you using it for?

[txj2go]

I don't have one.

I bought a cheap inverter to carry with me for charging batteries, plugs into the lighter socket. Right after I got it I tried it out with my old 3/8 VSR drill but not for running under a heavy load. In 5 camping trips I've yet to use it for anything. My daughter tried it one time to charge her small laptop and claimed it didn't work.

My wife's 9 year old SUV has one, I don't think we've ever used it.

Used mine for Christmas lights and for my walk-in talkie charger when I’m off roading and need to charge it. Occasional laptop charging. Etc. tried to use it for my keurig on a camping trip and to charge my travel speaker.

Did it work for the keurig ? I do love me some coffee…….

I have 3 vehicles with a 120v outlet in back. I have power strips plugged into each one. I also have 2 kids....they can charge all their shit without screwing up my CarPlay by using the usb ports.

Sadly it didn’t. At least with the big one I have. Can’t speak for the small single cup one.

My Jackery 500 charger doesn't like that plug. It won't work. Charger light just blinks and shuts down. I assumed it was because it was a low quality wave versus pure sine.

I used mine to power a pancake compressor when I needed to add air to all of my RV tires. The outlet & the compressor got a REALLY good workout getting those tires back up to 105lbs.

Funny thing I have actually used it on a panini maker while camping and it worked fine-about four times usage and no fuses blown or breakers popped.
