I bought one. It's amazingly small.*

The other one in the images is one I bought several years ago. Our Turtle has an inverter built-in, but it's higher
capacity, higher minimum current and no way to use it on the chassis battery. As we often stay where there is no shore
power, I'm always interested in minimizing power drain, so the 'house' battery will last.
At the time, this little travel inverter was about as small as they come, not in an aluminum extrusion with fins and
sharp edges, and well packaged for travel. Now that my batteries all have chargers that will run directly off 12v, the
inverter is only needed for the computer and electric toothbrush rechargers.
The Aukey is 125w, vs. the 175 of the old one. The computer charger says 100-240v ~ 1.4a, which could be pushing that
capacity. But the wattmeter says it draws no more than about 44w on 120v input, with the battery @ 25%. A quick test
with a 52w lamp worked fine in the vehicle. In my large supply of miscellaneous bags, I found a perfect one for it.
I'm good to go with the far smaller inverter.
