Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Cobra Power 

Inverter CPI890. 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.
