I can't tell you the technical answer, but the practical answer is you can run next to nothing. They're good for about a plug in phone charger. Never understood this....if a plug is an option on the vehicle, the inverter should at least be worthwhile. Even on a substantial vehicle like a Ford super duty F250.....same story. Plug is dang near worthless. The most practical thing I've ever been able to run on a factory inverter is a small pump to inflate an air mattress.

I found out shortly after purchasing my Jeep, that I could charge my lap top, cell phone, 2-way radios, and GPS off of them, but it will not run power tools (this was before I went cordless with the power tools).
