My Jackery 1000 generator and two smaller units are for emergency home use only. I have the Bestek inverter with the cigarette lighter plug as well as the alligator clips to charge directly off my alternator with my little Scion at idle. It's an extra precaution to bypass the cigarette lighter and thus avoid the potential of damaging my vehicles electronics. I have to smile when I remember the old days of having to pump up the old white gas Coleman lantern and stove to make them work on our camping trips. Those were fun days.

I have been charging like this for a while. I think you touched on this in the video, but it's important to remember that a lot of vehicle cig lighter circuits are fused at only 10 amps. A higher wattage charger will blow them. I do not recommend a larger fuse because some of the wiring is only 14-16 gauge. I ran a fused, 8 gauge circuit directly from my battery (not the alternator) through the firewall to the rear seats. Works great and no fire danger. I also use the circuit for a DC to DC converter that charges my 12v Battle Born at 20 amps while I drive.

Game changer. Was able to double my charging speed thanks. This is going to help me keep my fan on at night.

I’ve been using that bestech inverter for at least 4 years and aside from having a noisy fan that kicks on constantly, It is an amazing pure sine inverter and I’ve never had one issue from it. Definitely recommend it for small devices.

This is a good piece of kit for ANYONE who owns a vehicle....Whether you do solar or not, whether you live in a van, RV, etc or on a road trip with the Family and this will keep their devices charged and running LONGER. It is pretty good if you also forget to charge a device before leaving on a trip.
Thank You HOBOTECH!

A big "Thank You" for this video! I have a Honda CRV and a Jackery 1000. When charging the Jackery 1000 from my vehicles 12 volt outlet I was averaging at around 70 watts or so, which is OK, but I was looking for a way to improve on the charging rate. My 12 v outlets are only rated at 10 amps, so they aren't up to the task of charging at a higher rate. I just bought the exact same Bestek 300 watt inverter that you are using and I connected it directly to my vehicles battery for testing purposes. I plugged my Jackery wall charger into the inverter and my Jackery started charging at around 145 watts. This is exactly the same as if I was charging it from a wall outlet at home. I'm really happy to see such an improvement and I will now install a separate battery connected 12 volt outlet to be used by the inverter. I'll make sure that it is properly fused and I will use a battery isolator so that I don't accidently discharge my car battery. I really appreciate all of your time and effort in creating this video.

Got to say it on this thanks Hobo for showing us this item and the time it took you to review it so well🎩

[stattytravels]

See now I was just saying in another video that I'm not so into the portable battery units but like knowing whats out there and you have something I can use.. We have a 2001 Winnebago Class A. we have solar and an inverter but most of our RV is running on 12 volts so we only use the inverter then we can to power laptops, TV's Microwave and so on. The coach came with a 300w inverter from the factory that powers both the TV's but problem is the inverter is 20 years old and not a pure sign wave so we getting little buzzing out of the speakers that drives me nuts.. This unit is a perfect replacement AND the best part is I went to your amazon site to buy and and got 20% off. Amazon is offering a 10% discount AND your 10% is cost me $37.99 with tax and free prime shipping.. Thanks Tom.. you rock!!

Thank you for reviewing the BESTEK 300w Inverter. I had been considering getting a small inverter for the car and also for charging some small devices off of my very small scale solar setup. It is just the ticket for charging the small devices, phone, tablet and laptop. It also opens the door to having another way of charging a future solar generator, to be purchased later on. Have a great day!

Hobotech, you twisted my arm with your sales job. I bought that pure sine wave inverter and used your discount code

[tedsamuels]

For 40 bucks..you can't beat this deal..Thanks for sharing Professor Hobo 😀 👍

[jingeman]

I have had one of those for almost two years now and it has worked well to charge my ebike battery hundreds of times while my solar keeps up with it on my RV.

[bruceforster]

I've been eyeing the Bestek for awhile. I'm impressed!!!

[bladecutler]

I just got mine today. I tested it with my battery charger and my 5000 pound winch. It runs my battery chargers just fine and I can also power so many different devices. I will be charging my Jackery 160 and my Jackery 500 with this inverter. Thank you for the review👌

[FKA_Skull]

You should address using cigarette type 12v port. This test connects directly to your battery which isn't the same thing. My 2003 Toyota 4Runner will only supply 120W through the DC ports in the car and a bluetti EB150 won't charge as it pulls 220W. It seems completely dependent on your cars wiring and fuses.

[gregyohngy]

Bought it 2 years ago when Javier Camacho from Puerto Rico was asking for donations making power banks for victims of Hurricane Maria. He would build 500W Lithium Ion battery banks using 100W solar and this Pure Sine wave inverter.

People cried getting this item in their homes!
