Power equipment and appliances from your vehicle. Click to enlarge. | Great for automobiles, RVs, boats, tractors, trucks, and more. Click to enlarge. | Includes three grounded AC receptacles and 5-volt USB output. Click to enlarge. | How The Cobra Power Inverter Works The Cobra power inverter is an electronic product that has been designed and built to take low-voltage DC (Direct Current) power from your automobile or other low-voltage power supplies and convert it to standard 115 volt AC (Alternating Current) power like the current you have in your home. This conversion process thereby allows you to use many of your household appliances and electronic products in automobiles, RVs, boats, tractors, trucks, and virtually anywhere else. Cobra 1500 Watt Output Waveform Some very sensitive electronic equipment might not operate satisfactorily on "square wave" or "modified sine wave" power. The output waveform of the Cobra Inverter is a "square wave" or "modified sine wave." It is a stepped waveform designed to have characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. A waveform of this nature is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and switching power suppliers used in electronic equipment, transformers, and motors. AC receptacles With three ground AC receptacles, you can connect and power multiple devices at once. USB Output The 5-Volt USB output allows charging and operation of modern portable devices, such as iPods, BlackBerrys, and cell phones. Remote On/Off Switch Capable An optional Remote On/Off Switch can be connected to the Remote Jack, allowing you to turn the Cobra power inverter on or off from a convenient location when the inverter is installed out of reach. Safety Features The CPI 1575 will notify you with a flashing meter and alarm sound when there is a power problem, and will shut down for protection in the following situations: - Current Overload Protection--If the inverter is overloaded, it will shut down to protect itself.
- Short Circuit Protection--If the AC output of the inverter is short-circuited for one second or more, it will shut down to protect itself.
- Low Voltage Protection--If the input voltage drops to 10.0V or less, the inverter will shut down to protect itself.
- High Voltage Protection--If the DC input voltage rises above 15.0V, the inverter will shut down to protect itself.
- Over Temperature Protection--If the internal temperature rises to 40 degrees C (104 degrees F), the inverter will shut down to protect itself.

Great inverter, price was great! March 14, 2010 M. Johnson (RUSHVILLE, ILLINOIS, US) I bought this inverter for my semi and I use it on a daily basis. It runs my laptop and my small microwave with no problem. It has a low profile so it doesn't take up much space. It runs quietly even when the cooling fans are running full speed. I've used other smaller Cobra inverters in the past and I've been very happy with their products.
Doesnt work without engine constantly running February 24, 2010 Midwest Techie This unit works fine in a scenario where you have a constant 12v feed such as off an alternator. I was trying to use it as a backup supply off a marine battery to run the fan & ignitor in a corn burner. Although the load was low the battery only lasted about an hour. I did try multiple batteries but found that the only way it worked was to be hooked up to a running vehicle. I have a neighbor running a similar setup with a generic brand inverter and his battery lasts several days before requiring a recharge. He did bring his battery and inverter over to try with my corn burner as a known good setup and all seemed fine.
Need a question answered PLEASE! February 24, 2010 Mike Hinson I have just installed this inverter in my RV and I can not get the fans to turn on no matter what I do. I have had it running about 1200 watts for about 15 minutes until the unit starts getting warm to the touch and still no fans. I have even put a hairdryer on it to heat it up and still no fans. Is this normal? PLEASE HELP! On my old Cobra 2575 the fans would turn on as soon as there was any load.
Cobra CPI 1575 ---- Don't buy. January 27, 2010 Bob (Illinois) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought CPI 1575 (new) and it had a very low power output. I exchanged it for another assuming I got a bad one. I decided to bench test this one before installing. The voltage on this one varied between 89 and 122 volts depending on load. Sent this back for a refund and ordered a Xantrex 1200. The Xantrex 1200 cost more but it works perfect. Luckily Amazon's return policy made the exchages very easy.
GREAT BUY January 19, 2010 Ralph Sabins (Miami, Florida) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just got my Cobra, 1500 Watt inverter by UPS. No problems with the packaging.
I hooked it up to my battery bank of eight 125amp hour marine battery's and tried it out on various lights, TV's, the coffee maker and the refrigerator. It worked great.
My refrigerator is a 7.5 amp system. I did get a short tone from the inverter for two seconds for low power, but it was just the surge from the refrigerator. From then on it worked fine. I tried it on a TV with a cable control box and had no problems.
I would recomend this inverter for the house for stand alone apliances. Of course it helps to have all those batteries as well. I am now set for any lengthy power outages.
Great service from Amazon for timely delivery and a great product.Cobra CPI 1575 1500 Watt 12 Volt DC to 120 Volt AC Power Inverter
