If it has plugs to plug into it's a converter. That seems to make more sense to me.

It doesn't care what device is plugged into it. However, if you had the type that plugs into a DC outlet, it's possible you were not getting enough juice to power the Mac. In that case, none that use the DC outlet will work. You will need to connect the inverter directly to the battery to get enough power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30434217.post-10145573821579368082014-01-23T12:29:13.246-05:002014-01-23T12:29:13.246-05:00I don't even care any longer... upload downloa...I don't even care any longer... upload download .... over the mode... haha.... I bought two inverter/converter then later found out they don't work with a Mac! <br /><br />Glad to find your blog, Jane ;) I'll go back and read and catch up!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663919207326700505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30434217.post-8764823659305034912014-01-22T20:33:33.634-05:002014-01-22T20:33:33.634-05:00You're right, it can be confusing.

Some electronic devices require the more expensive pure sine wave. Also, the kind that plug into a DC outlet are limited as to how much power you can draw. To get the full rated amount it needs to be hard wired to the batteries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
