Overview

Product Overview

The multipurpose PowerTrip™ 480 Power Inverter (CPS480TG2U) from CyberPower connects to your vehicle's 12V DC power outlet to simultaneously power five devices (480 watt peak) with its three household AC outlets and two USB ports (2.1 Amp shared). Use the AC outlets to power portable electronics while you're traveling. Dual USB ports can charge two USB devices at the same time, including most tablets. The PowerTrip 480 offers two options to power your devices, either from your vehicle's 12V DC power outlet, up to 175 watts, with the included 12V DC cable or directly from your vehicle's battery, up to 480 watts, with the included battery cables.

Safety features such as user-replaceable fuses, surge protection, and automatic shutdown protect your connected devices and automotive battery. Other features include a status LED, battery clamp cables, 12V DC power plug and cable, and a handle that can easily wrap cords. The PowerTrip 480, which comes with a two-year limited warranty, is ideal for TV and computer electronics, power and hobby tools, cordless chargers, and other accessories that use up to 480 watts of power. NOTE: Combined wattage not to exceed 480 watt peak using the battery cables and not to exceed 175 watt peak using the DC cigar plug.

Feature Focus
Safety, Efficiency, and Power Inverters

A power inverter changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC), but does not produce the power, itself. These inverters provide portable, efficient power, are convenient to use, and versatile of purpose. Power inverters from CyberPower convert automobile DC power to AC power to rapidly charge and power laptop computers, tablets (including iPads), MP3 players, and other USB mobile devices. They also supply surge protection to safeguard electronic equipment.

Our power inverters offer many features for safety and efficiency, including automatic shutdown, built-in surge protection, and soft start technology. For more information about these and other features, see the user manual or Web page for the specific power inverter that you want to use.

NOTE: Features vary by model.

Automatic-Shutdown ensures that the power inverter automatically turns off to prevent your battery from draining.

Built-in Surge Protection safeguards electronics against power fluctuations, such as those which occur during vehicle startup and shutdown.

Sensitive Electronics Safety Features provide surge protection and automatic shutdown to guard electronics against power fluctuations, temperature extremes, short circuits, and high or low battery conditions.

Soft Start Technology protects electronics against power fluctuations.

My POWERTRIP series power inverter isn’t working?

Problem: No AC output – Red LED lit.

Possible Causes: 

  • DC input is below 11 Vdc / Over 15 Vdc
  • Short circuit.
  • Overload
  • Power inverter is hot.

Suggested Solutions:

  • Check your battery volts and recharge or replace the battery.
  • Disconnect the load
  • Reduce the load.
  • Disconnect the load and operate the power inverter for a few minutes.

Problem: No AC output – Green LED not lit.

Possible Causes:

  • Bad connection or wiring
  • Fuse is blown

Suggested Solutions:

  • Tighten all DC connections.
  • Check fuse and replace or Call Service.

Problem: Motorized power tool will not operate.

Possible Cause:

  • Excessive startup load. If the startup load exceeds the power inverter’s peak load capability it will not work.

Suggested Solution:

  • Disconnect the load until the power inverter operates normally and connect the load again.
