Black & Decker launches three power inverters to keep your gear running in the car

Black & Decker will forever be associated with power tools and drills in my mind, but that is far from what the company is all about. Today the company offered up three new power inverters designed to let you power your gadgets and electronics while in the car. The new offerings include the PI800BB, PI500BB, and the PI100BB.

The smallest of the three offerings is the 100W PI100BB. It has an AC outlet and a USB outlet for charging your devices like MP3 players and other small items in the car. The plug has a pivot and the thing plugs directly into the DC outlet inside the car. The larger 500W 2-in-1 PI500BB can power small items needing up to 100W of power using the standard DC outlet in the car or larger gear needing up to 500W of juice can be powered by hooking directly to the battery.

The biggest of the bunch is the 800W PI800BB that can power things like tools, appliances, and electronics needing up to 800W of juice and this product has to be directly attached to the battery. It has dual AC outlets and can charge multiple devices at one time. This would be perfect for running your TV and blender for some tailgating margaritas at the game.
