John's post #11 is your best option in my opinion. Some more food for thought ... anytime you go from 12vdc to 120vac there is a loss of power. The inverter is not 100% efficient. So if you have a cell phone charger that plugs into a standard "house outlet" and you charge your phone with the inverter it's a very inefficient method. You would be going from 12vdc to 120vac then the phone charger would take the 120vac and change it to 5vdc to match the USB on the phone. You would be much better off installing a 12vdc outlet with USB ports (like this https://www.amazon.com/Cigarette-Lig...e%2C148&sr=1-3 ) and plug in the phone with a USB cable. Laptops also run on a DC battery and some brands offer a 12vdc charger for the car.
