Power inverters are hardly a new concept. They’re a basic device that converts a cigarette lighter outlet into one or many other types of electrical outlets so that other electronics can make use of an increasingly useless feature on cars these days. But what if you have multiple gadgets that you need to charge and space is a concern? The Multi-Port Power Inverter from Herrington Catalog is just the right size and price as to solve most electrical problems while on the road.

The design is rather simple and functional without useless features or dollars attached. Plugging the MPPI into your cigarette lighter or power point in your car will give you a pass through cigarette lighter/power point style outlet, a standard USB outlet, and your typical U.S. spec home electrical outlet. With an output of 100 watts, the Herrington claims you can run just about any gadget through the USB or wall outlet while still using the cigarette lighter to power say a radar detector. Among the list of other things to juice on the go, portable DVD players, laptops, cellphones, mp3 players, cameras, battery chargers, etc. The list is rather daunting and practically limitless. Pack all of that into a tiny package small enough to fit in a small pocket in pants, purse, bag, or glove box and you have quite a useful gadget.

Finally, dying because your battery exploaded or your power inverter shorted out and burnt your car to a crisp is a real drag. Thankfully this little wonder inverter has electronic circuit protection to prevent any type of electrical baddies that may try to come your way. *sigh of relief*. So whataya say? $40 too much?
