If a laptop is powered by twelve volts will a 150 watt inverter work?

Maybe, or maybe not. Depends upon the wattage or amperage draw. At 120 volts and 150 watts, you can draw about 1.2 amps. Probably not enough for a newer laptop, but may power an older one fine. A 300 or 600 watt inverter can be bought on eBay for about 30 bucks.

What size power inverter should you use for 7.4V tablet?
Your question only makes sense to me if you want to use the AC-powered charger that came with your tablet and somehow run it with DC because otherwise you wouldn't need an inverter. Normally you plug your AC-powered charger into the 117 volt 60 hertz AC power socket (in the USA, not in Europe or elsewhere abroad) at home or office or wherever. An "inverter" creates AC output power from DC input power. Say you're in your car. The "cigarette" lighter supplies nominally 12 volts DC, though it's more like 13.6 volts DC when the engine is running and powering the alternator. You can't power your tablet directly with that -- the voltage is too high. You could use the "12 volts" to power an inverter that produces 60 hertz, 117 volts AC and then plug your AC-powered tablet charger into that. Then all you need to know is how much AC power the inverter can provide. I've measured the power needed to charge my android (Vizio) tablet. The AC-powered charger needs about 10 watts of power. That's a very light load for an inverter, so I reckon just about any inverter should work.

I want to convert 12 volts DC to 29.5 volts DC by using a 400 watt power inverter will it work?
In short, no. There are ways to make the voltage rise, but inverting the power will not help you. If you don't care about the amount of Amps you have, the simplest way to raise the voltage would be to add resistance to the line. Volts and amps are linked by Ohm's law, which states that V=IR, where V is volts, I is current (in amps), and R is resistance in ohms. Therefore you can create a higher voltage at the cost of amperage by adding resistance to your line.
How many watt DC to AC converter do you need to run a 6 amp power tool?
The formula for watts (or power) is Amps times voltage. Therefore with a 6 amp draw times 120 volts would be about 720 watts. A 1000 watt power inverter would do the job.
How do you connect two twelve volt batteries for my motor home?
You will want to connect them in "parallel" (positive to positive, negative to negative). If you connect them in "series" (positive to negative) you will add one voltage to the other, making 24 volts.
Power inverter 12 volts-220 volts?
If you are looking for a power inverter then you are going to need to take a number of things into account. These power inverters are not all equal, and they will vary in price and functionality. This blog will look at how you can narrow down your search to the right power inverter for your needs.

How much kilowatt hour consumption will you consume if you use 3000 w twelve volts dc to 110 v inverter in full load for ten hours a day in one month?
The number of kilowatt/hour consumption you will consume if you use 3000 w twelve volts dc to 110 v inverter in full load for ten hours a day in one month is achieved by doing the correct calculations.
What wattage of inverter would you need to power a 100-240volt 1.7 amp laptop?
At 100 volts, around 170 watts. At 240 volts, around half as much. So, I'd suggest a nice 200 watt inverter for the 120 volt model, but that seems to be an awful lot for your purposes. Are you sure that you're not reading the power output of the power adapter, as compared to the amperage it draws on A.C.? I seem to remember using my laptop in a truck with just a 40 watt inverter and it worked just fine.
What is the meaning of 850va inverter?
vA MEANS VOLTS AMPHERE
How many amps does a 2500 watt inverter use?
If we assume that the inverter is used in your car on 12 Volts DC and you are creating 120 VAC; and the 2500 watts refers to the AC side of inverter then for a resistive load Amps = Watts / Volts = 2500/120.

What is the meaning of the volts?
volts is the meaning of which something is powered by a battery.
What is electrical potential of 800va inverter?
It depends on how much current it's putting out. An inverter rated at 800 volt-amperes can deliver 220 volts at 3.636 amperes, or it can deliver 110 volts at 3.727 amperes.
Can you run a 12 volt inverter with 18 volts?
NO! I recently tried connecting a 12 volt inverter to my solar panels that have an 18 volt output. The inverter fried in under a minute.
How 12 volts from a battery converted to 240 volts?
You will need to purchase a power inverter. Click the link for one I found.
Can a 300 watt inverter run a 16 amp chainsaw?
One would assume the chainsaw requires 120 volts or more if you want to run it with an inverter. If your chainsaw uses 16 amps at 120 volts then your wattage is Volts (120) x Amps (16) and that would be 1920 watts. So you will require a much larger inverter to run your chainsaw.
