Where can I get the cord for a Power Inverter?
I just bought a 400W DC to AC Power Inverter at the thrift store for five bucks. Now I need to know two things:
Can I buy a cord to hook up to the cigarette lighter in my car?
If yes, where? If no, why not?
Thanks!
Not knowing the make of the inverter it is hard to give you an exact answer.
But, you can check in at a local truck stop. As many of them sell more of these things than Wal-Mart ever thought of.
Be prepared to pay more for it than you paid for the inverter though.
Average cost of a 400w inverter at a truck stop, about $29.95 usd with the cord(s)
