Argos Challenge 800w inverter

Featured Replies

Bought mine yesterday!!!

Is a bargain.. especially when the guy next to me collected his 250watt one that cost the same as mine!

It just comes with crocodile clips but you can stick your own wiring onto the terminals on it.

Works ok so far powering my laptop but not tried anything high powered on it yet.

Thanks for the heads up, reserved mine to pick up tomorrow :)

Are you coming camping then Steve? :)

That's why i bought mine! You never know what you may need to plug-in on the move!

As a comparison ALDI are doing one on sunday thats 300w and is £29.99!

It does have a fan too by the way that runs all the time while running but its not too noisy at all and can't imagine drains much power as its only a tiny fan!

It runs off something like a car battery then?

Looks nice - what leads does it come with - wiring/grips for the battery terminals and/or cigarette lighter fitment?

Please advise.... i'll nip down and get one at lunchtime!

From above :)

To make it a bit clearer...

It comes with these leads which clamp onto your battery and then just screw onto the terminals of the inverter:

And these are the terminals on the inverter... as you can see i've made my own wiring to it using some connectors from a car spares shop:

found mine at the weekend 300w one with cigarette lighter adapter (150w) or use crocodile clip thingys for the full 300w. got to get a new blade fuse for the cigarette lead but certainly saved onbuying a new one now ive found it (lost since the house move).

Might get the Argos one this week. Anybody who has got one already can you tell me the size of the unit please. Want to check if it will fit where I want to put it. Thanks.

Nobody got one then??

mine (thats not from argos) is about so big by so wide!!! :rofl:

ahh but is this Argos one the same size? :rubchin:

no expert, but guess you could work out the size against the plug size. ;):thumbup:
