Audiotek PI2500 1200W 12V Power Inverter

The Audiotek PI2500 is a 12V DC-to-AC power inverter designed to make household-style power available from a vehicle battery. It converts a 12V DC source into 110-120V AC power for compatible electronics and appliances, while also providing USB charging. It is intended for cars, trucks, boats, and other 12V battery-based applications.

Its continuous rated output is 1200W, with a 2400W maximum rating and a 2500W peak rating for brief startup demands. The inverter uses a modified sine wave output and operates at 60 Hz. Connected AC loads should remain below the 1200W rated-power limit during normal use.

Three AC outlets allow several compatible devices to be connected at once, while two USB ports provide 5V/2.1A charging output. This combination suits mobile charging setups for devices such as phones, tablets, laptops, cameras, and other compatible electronics. The unit is also useful where a 12V battery is available but standard AC outlets are not.

Built-in protection functions include over-voltage, under-voltage, overload, over-current, overheating, and short-circuit protection. Six replaceable 25A fuses help protect the inverter and simplify fuse service when needed. A cooling fan supports temperature management during operation.

The PI2500 can be used through its included vehicle cigarette-lighter plug for lower-power needs or connected directly to a battery with the included red and black battery clips. For AC devices rated above 150W, direct battery connection with the battery clips is recommended. Its compact 12 x 7 x 3.5-inch format makes it suitable for vehicle, travel, and backup-power installations where appropriate ventilation is available.

Key Features

• 1200W Continuous Output: Supports compatible AC loads within its rated operating capacity.
• 2500W Peak Rating: Accommodates brief startup demands from certain connected devices.
• Three AC Outlets: Provides household-style AC connections for multiple compatible devices.
• Dual USB Charging: Includes two 5V/2.1A USB charging ports.
• Replaceable Fuse Protection: Uses six serviceable 25A fuses for circuit protection.
• Battery Connection Options: Includes a cigarette-lighter plug and direct-battery clips.

Design & Installation

The PI2500 uses a compact black enclosure measuring 12 x 7 x 3.5 inches. Its design incorporates a cooling fan, six replaceable fuses, and a dual-color LED status indicator. The manufacturer does not specify the enclosure material.

Place the inverter in a dry, ventilated location away from direct sunlight and heat-sensitive materials. Tighten the positive and negative battery connections before use, and keep total connected load below 1200W. Use the included battery clips for loads above 150W rather than relying on a typical vehicle cigarette-lighter socket.
