New PEAK® MaxPower™ Power Inverters Provide Power-On-The-Go

(November 5, 2002) Americans love electronic gadgets, gizmos and games… and today's fast-paced consumers are taking lots of power hungry gear wherever they go. That's why Old World Industries, makers of PEAK® Performance Products, has introduced two new MaxPower™ DC/AC Power Inverters, which make it quick, easy and safe for people to tap into the power of their vehicle's battery to get the electricity they need. The PEAK® MaxPower™ 350 watt DC/AC Power Inverter (#PKC13F) is ideal for powering appliances such as televisions, radio/CD players, computers and cell phone rechargers. And when extra wattage is needed, the PEAK® MaxPower™ 600 watt DC/AC Power Inverter (# PKC16F) has the capacity to run larger appliances like drills, vacuums, mini refrigerators, blenders and coffee makers, and more. 

Both PEAK MaxPower DC/AC Power Inverters are compact, portable, lightweight and easy to use anytime, anywhere. 

Other items in the PEAK® Safety and Convenience products line include: the PEAK® Compact Battery Jump-Starter, a rechargeable power source that is cordless and lightweight, making it ideal for any application where a powerful quick-start (400 instant Amps) is needed; the PEAK® Portable Air and Tire Repair which stands just 6.75" high and packs 300 psi to quickly inflate a flat tire or blow up the largest inflatable items; the original PEAK® Battery Jump-Starter; and the PEAK® Emergency Road Kit containing a 12 oz. bottle of non-flammable tire sealant, 8-foot,10 gauge booster cables, a flashlight with batteries, and a 20-foot bungee cord.
