How Your CobraMarine

Power Inverter Works

The CobraMarine

Power Inverter is an electronic product that has been designed and

built to take low voltage DC (Direct Current) power from your boat, RV, 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.
