It is safe to use a car 12V to 220V converter. As long as the 12V to 220V conversion is used normally, it will not cause damage to the vehicle's battery. However, overloading it can harm the car. Below are detailed explanations: Precautions: When using a car 12V to 220V converter, note the following: If you need to use the converter to power car appliances after parking, be sure to start the engine to prevent the car battery from draining, which could damage the battery. A common device used for 12V to 220V conversion is called a car inverter, which converts the car's 12V DC power into 220V AC power to meet the electrical needs inside the car. Choosing a car inverter: Select a car inverter product produced or distributed by a professional and reputable manufacturer, ensuring the manufacturer provides after-sales service commitments; it is best to choose the latest model of quasi-sine wave or pure sine wave inverter, avoiding those below quasi-sine wave. Square wave inverters may cause unstable power supply and could damage connected appliances; always choose a product with a metal casing, as metal casings offer good heat dissipation and are non-combustible; when purchasing, check whether the car inverter has over-temperature alarms or protection features.
