I am looking for some assistance. I am trying to setup a portable power pack to provide 110/120V AC power from a lithium ion battery pack using an inverter. I was using the following device: Duracell Power Source Mobile However it is being discontinued and I would like a larger battery pack.
I have purchased a Energizer XP18000 Portable Power Pack and connected it to a 150W Inverter using a 2.5mm to F-CIG plug (figure) . I am unable to power a 120VAC @ 0.9AMPs to 16V @ 2.5AMPs DC Transformer used with a label printer.
The inverter is in working order, I tested it in my vehicle. The XP18000 works as I am able to plug other 12V DC devices in and they work.
I know it is not at all efficient at all to have a DC power source inverted to AC power to yet again convert back to DC. But because of the number of devices I need to power and time constraints using a DC to AC to DC method is what would work best for me.
Any advice or suggestions would be very welcomed.
