View Full Version : car 115V outlet isn't powerful enough ?
my car 115V outlet isn't powerful enough to run vacumn cleaner. However, the vacumn cleaner runs when I plug it into wall outlet.
Is there a way to make the 115V outlet more powerful?
Is this normal for 115V outlet?

Never heard of a car with a 115v outlet (since cars are predominately 12v systems). Perhaps the car needs to be running in order to kick out that much juice through a converter.

It's the amount of amps the vacuum is pulling. The house system can handle it while your vehicles inverter is probably rated at a much lower amperage rating.
I don't know of any way to make the car's system 'more powerful' other than putting in a larger inverter.
Hope this helps!

Most of them are limited to 150W, so the vacuum is probably pulling more than 1.3A
