Vehicle Inverter Systems: Portable AC Power?
Power inverter systems are essential tools for long car road trips. These systems convert a vehicle's battery power into standard power that is compatible with common electronic devices. An inverter system makes standard 110-120 Volt power available anywhere on the road. With multiple receptacles, you can plug in several electric powered devices right into your inverter system. Inverter system are available in different peak power ratings, which are designed to handle only a certain amount of electric load. If you plug in too powerful devices, then your inverter may burn, so it is important to have a safety feature such as fuses and surge protection.

(the type used to watch a household TV while in a car) and your scooter charger normally plugs into a wall socket in your house, this will work fine. If the inverter you have is one that turns 110V AC to 12V DC, then you will have a problem.
