How to use power inverters to power video games consoles in your car

Many parents are aware that traveling long distances with a car full of children can be a taxing experience. That is why I am posting some details about being able to hook up a video game console in your car to relieve some of the tension that is placed on parents in this situation.

It is easy to install a power inverter. First you will need the amp or watt rating from the back of the console. Here are a few examples:

Wii – 300 watt inverter

Playstation – 300 watt inverter

XBox – 800 watt inverter

Gamecube – 300 watt inverter

Most video games operate better with a pure (true) sine power inverter. The pure sine inverters are a little more expensive but you’ll get better results. The economical inverters will work with most game console but you may get some interference. Happy and safe traveling this summer.
