Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Cobra Power 

Inverter CPI2590. Properly used, this Cobra 

product will give you many years of reliable 

service.
How Your Cobra Power Inverter Works

The Cobra power inverter is an electronic product that has 

been designed and built to take low voltage DC (Direct 

Current) power from your automobile or other low voltage 

power supplies and convert it to standard 115 volt AC 

(Alternating Current) power like the current you have in 

your home. This conversion process thereby allows you  

to use many of your household appliances and electronic 

products in automobiles, RVs, boats, tractors, trucks and 

virtually anywhere else.
