CORAL SPRINGS, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Power Bright Technologies, the leader in power inverters, announced their new licensing agreement to design and manufacture an exclusive line of Energizer-branded Power Inverters.¹ The new, patent pending products are designed specifically to complement Energizer’s existing line of portable power solutions.²

“We are very excited to become part of the Energizer family of branded products”

For more than 30 years, Power Bright has been involved in the consumer electronics industry and since 2000; they have exclusively manufactured power inverters and transformers for the consumer and commercial markets.

The new Energizer branded Power Inverters will debut at the AAPEX Show, October 30 – November 1, 2012, Booth #279 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas. In addition, the new line will be featured at their Booth #36275, South Hall 4, at CES 2013, January 8 – 11, 2013 in Las Vegas.

ULTRA COMPACT POWER INVERTERS WITH ROBUST APPEAL

The new Energizer branded product line will include a full assortment of power inverters ranging in sizes from 120 Watts to 4000 Watts and are not just for emergencies. With the Energizer_® Power Inverters, consumers will be able to run and recharge numerous devices and appliances including cell phones, MP3 players, tablets, laptops, power tools and so much more. Initially, nine Power Inverter products will be introduced at AAPEX 2012 and Power Bright anticipates adding additional products to the line in Spring 2013.

Included in the line are the World’s Smallest Cup Inverter™ ³ with 120 Watt and 180 Watt models that will allow you to power your mobile devices in your car, boat or RV. The new Cup Inverters are ultra compact and plug into a vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket or attach to a car battery and fit securely in a vehicle’s cup holders. Each Cup Inverter has four USB Ports with a shared 2.1 Amp capacity to facilitate charging up to four devices at once. In addition, each Cup Inverter has a standard North American AC outlet allowing you to plug directly into your GPS, laptop, MP3 player or cell phone.

Also in the initial products debuting at AAPEX, are the Energizer_® 500, 900, 1100, 1500, 2000, 3000 and 4000 Watt Power Inverter models. All of these Power Inverters, except the 500-Watt model, is equipped with a LCD digital display showing either DC volts or AC Watts. Moreover, these Power Inverters have an overload indicator that automatically shuts down the device when the draw of the appliance exceeds the maximum Watts of the unit, making them very safe to operate.

The 500 through 2000 Watt models come with two standard North America AC outlets (four on the 3000 and 4000 Watt Inverter models) and have two USB ports with a shared 2.1 Amp capacity to facilitate charging up to two devices at once.

Bad weather? Power failure? No problem. The Energizer_® 3000 and 4000 Watt Power Inverters have four USB Ports with a shared 2.1 Amp capacity. Now you can run multiple high-powered devices such as a refrigerator, microwave, and power tools faster and easier. Like their 120 Watt and 180 Watt Cup Inverter siblings, the Energizer_® 500 through 4000 Watt models are ultra compact yet deliver robust charging capabilities for virtually all of your Power Inverter needs.

All Energizer_® Power Inverter products from Power Bright are MET Certified and conform to UL 458 and CSA 22.2 No. 107.1 Standards for electrical appliances.

“Energizer is excited to add this innovative line of inverters to our existing portfolio of portable power solutions,” said Steve Hockridge, General Manager of Specialty Power for Energizer. “In a world where the demand for on-the-go power is rapidly growing, Energizer Power Inverters will offer consumers an assortment of backup and mobile power solutions.”
