Would it be possible to attach a cigarette-outlet style 120VAC inverter to this and charge, say, a laptop through it?

Yes. Our setup is consists of the charging panel, an RV battery, and a cigarette-outlet style inverter. With that, we had enough electricity to power our little pick-up camper AND charge cell phones and my laptop on a 3-day camping trip. Without the battery, though, I think you'd pretty much have a trickle charge that would take FOREVER to power up a laptop.

I have to assume it would work. The panel outputs 12V. The the mA flow rate would make charging a laptop a long process, probably several hours.

It has output terminals to attach a cigarette-outlet to the inverter to charge a laptop but to run a laptop you need 60 watts and most of the time the solar panel is giving you half the rated wattage, you might want a larger then the 10w

I guess so it can be done. The unit can be charged via regular power outlet and using computer (USB port)

No. It has a standard wall plug.You could try purchasing a separate DC inverter which DOES plug into a cigarette lighter and then plug the heater into the inverter. I use a small inverter to power my laptop for long trips.

You probably can, but the cables should be very flexible (good welders cable). I believe the connecting bolts are 1/4", so 0G are really large. I am guessing that you have to go a long distance to the battery. I have used 6G and 4G for my application, which fit nicely. The inverter is only 600 watt so will draw about 50 amps DC at max load.

I used a converter with built-in plug adapter. If you just change the plug you still have too much voltage (220) and could fry your laptop.

This brand has no inverter. Others like the Schumacher XP2260, Wagan Powerdome EX, and Duracell 600 have such. Of course I hope you realize that although it looks just like a house outlet, you'll only be able to run little things like a lap-top, cell phone chargers, or a few lights (not things like power tools, coffee makers, or heaters that need 500+ watts).

I ran a small 400 watt inverter off of this unit to operate a laptop computer up on the dash of my motorhome while underway. Worked fine but the key of course is having it on a properly fused 12 volt circuit matched to whatever device your trying to run. This unit has a 15 amp limit. Use it improperly and I'm sure it would burn up.

You can do it without a problem . I used it to charge my laptop with 90W rating.

I would think that for a cooler or laptop you would need a power inverter 12 volt dc to 110 ac, the auxiliary power outlet would only be putting out 12 volts, unless the cooler and or laptop run on 12 volts then yes.

I'm plugged into a standard apartment outlet. The cord and plug on this thing is pretty thick so I probably wouldn't try using an inverter.

Yes, there is a power supply that you will need to plug into 120VAC outlet.

Practically any power inverter will power this laptop. http://www.amazon.com/Kinivo-CCA150-Power-Inverter-Charging/dp/B008YMUQI2/ref=sr_1_28?ie=UTF8&qid=1389488568&sr=8-28&keywords=power+inverter

Yes, but of course you need a 12v to 5v convertor - the standard cigarette to USB convertor that you very well may already own for other devices.

No. It is not intended for that purpose. It is intended to charge electronics that charge through usb. Laptops require a higher input to charge them that usb can give

Yes, you can charge the 12 volt battery while the inverter is powering your appliances and electronic devices.
1978423
Yes as long as the inverter meets these specifications:Input = 12V DCOutput =110V/60Hz ACOutput Rated Power = 120W (continuous) - 150W (maximum)USB Output Rated Power = 5V DC/1A (2A maximum)

It is possible to hook up an external battery pack, it'd be a diy project though. Otherwise, like the other guys said, you're stuck with having to have a power outlet
