Inverter or Booster?

 

 

Devices are available to provide the 12 volts, negative ground that are needed for today's iPods, MP3 players, cell phones, etc.  If you have a 6 volt negative ground car, you need a voltage booster.  If you have a 6 volt positive ground car, you need an inverter.  They are small (only a 1 3/4" cube!) so they can fit almost anywhere.

 

Depending on the input voltage, the inverter puts out about 2 amperes and the booster puts out over 3 1/2 amps.  So they are fine for alarm systems, radar detectors, CD players, etc.  They are not intended for motors, solenoids, door locks, power antennas, etc.
