Eaton PV1800HF – 1800W Automotive/Truck Inverter, 4 Outlets

Product Overview

The Eaton PV1800HF is a 1800-watt automotive and truck inverter that continuously supplies 120V AC power to four AC outlets from any 12V battery or automotive DC source. It is built for field service crews, mobile workers and job sites that need to run office equipment or power tools directly from a vehicle's battery rather than relying on a generator. The compact, rugged metal case design makes the PV1800HF one of the smallest inverters available at this power level, suited to work trucks and service vehicles with limited mounting space.

Product Description

The PV1800HF automotive/truck inverter lets crews utilize a vehicle's battery to power office equipment on the road or run power tools at a job site, continuously supplying up to 1800 watts of 120V AC power across four AC outlets from any 12V battery or automotive DC source. A set of included nut-and-bolt style DC terminals simplifies installation, giving installers a secure, vibration-resistant connection point for permanent or semi-permanent mounting in a truck or service vehicle. Despite its 1800W continuous rating, the compact, lightweight metal case keeps the PV1800HF among the smallest and most rugged inverters available at this power level, an important consideration for vehicles where console or under-seat space is limited. The four-outlet output lets a crew run multiple pieces of equipment at once, such as laptops, chargers and corded power tools, without needing a separate power strip. This inverter is a fit for fleet vehicles, utility trucks and mobile service operations that need dependable AC power away from shore power or a generator, and its metal housing is built to handle the vibration and temperature swings typical of daily field use.
