Features
1500 Watt Power Inverter: The Cobra PRO 1500W (CPI1500W) power inverter can provide up to 1500 watts of continuous AC power, with a high-surge capacity of up to 3000 watts, from a connected 12V electrical system. Outputting a 90% efficient modified sine wave, the power inverter can provide longer run times for your connected devices while extending your vehicle battery life. The PRO 1500W features four GFCI AC outlets along with USB-A and USB-C Fast Charge ports for charging portable devices.
Note: The Cobra PRO 1500W is designed to work with 12V batteries and is not compatible with 6V or 24V electrical systems.
Applications: The PRO 1500W power inverter is perfect for providing power for a multitude of devices such as fans, power tools, entertainment devices, kitchen appliances, LCD TVs, and more.
12V Battery Power: The Cobra PRO 1500W includes 4' power and ground wires (4-gauge) for connecting to your 12V battery terminals. Both cables are terminated in 0.25" ring-terminals for connection to the inverter and the battery. Protective rubber boots are provided for the inverter's terminals. The PRO 1500W can operate on DC input voltage from 10-15 V.
Note: It is recommended to install a 150 Amp fuse or circuit breaker (sold separately) in-line on the positive battery wire approximately 12" from the battery terminal.
AC & USB Power: The PRO 1500W features four GFCI protected AC outlets and two USB power ports.
- DC Input Voltage Range: 10-15 VDC
- Output Voltage (Nominal): 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 13.0 A, 1500 W (maximum)
- USB Outputs:
- USB-A: 5V/3A, 9V/1.67A (Fast Charge)
- USB-C: 5V/3A, 9V/1.67A (Fast Charge)
Notes:
- Some chargers for small nickel cadmium batteries can be damaged if connected to the Cobra PRO 1500W inverter, including small flashlights, razors, and night lights that can plug directly into an AC outlet. This also includes some chargers for hand power tool battery packs that warn of dangerous voltages present at the terminals.
- The Cobra PRO 1500W outputs a "modified sine wave" (stepped waveform) that's suitable for most AC loads including linear and switching power supplies used in most electronic equipment, transformers and motors. However, some very sensitive electronics and medical equipment may not operate properly on a modified sine wave. In these cases, the Cobra PURE SINE 400W may be an ideal alternative.
Battery Operating Time: The operating time of your connected equipment will vary depending on the charge level of the vehicle battery, its capacity and power level drawn by the particular AC load. Care should be taken to calculate the total amperage draw of your connected equipment in order to determine the amp-hour rating for the battery (how long the equipment can run without draining the battery). The PRO 1500W user manual provides step-by-step instructions for calculating the amp-hours, including the Starting Load surge. When using a vehicle battery as a power source, it's recommended to start the vehicle every 1-2 hours to recharge the battery before its capacity drops too low. A selectable low-voltage alarm will let you know when the battery drops to approximately 11.5 or 10.5 V and will cut off power consumption completely at 10.5 or 9.5 V (selectable).
Optional Remote Controller: The Cobra PRO 1500W can be remotely controlled using the optional Cobra Remote Controller (sold separately). The Remote Controller connects to the PRO 1500W's RJ-45 socket using the 15' cable that's included with the remote. It can then be mounted in a convenient location, letting you power the inverter on/off remotely. A 2-line LCD on the remote will display an error message if a problem with the inverter should arise, and USB-A and USB-C ports provide convenient device charging.
Power Switch, Display & Indicators: The inverter control panel includes a Power button for activating it along with a 3-character 7-segment LED readout that can show you the Battery Voltage, Output Power in kilowatts (kW), Output Power in Watts (W), along with any error messages. Corresponding Green, Yellow, and Red indicators above the readout will light to show which of the three values is being displayed on the readout.
Fan Cooled: Two built-in high-speed cooling fans help protect the inverter from over-heating.
Pentagon Protection & Safety Shut-Off: The Cobra PRO 1500W inverter provides 5 levels of protection and will shut down and/or sound an audible alarm if it detects one of the following: Over-Temperature, Reverse Polarity, Over-Voltage, Low-Voltage Alarm, and Low-Voltage Cutoff. The LED readout will also display a corresponding error code when a fault is detected. The inverter can provide 1500 watts for approximately 60 minutes before needing to cool down. A 15 minute cool-down will be required to resume operation at 1500 watts.
