i would think so, but look on each item and it should tell you what input it needs, then just add them all up. remember you wont get the full 150w as none are 100%.

Hi, the price for a 300w can be as low as £8 so dont bother with anything lower as you wont get the full 150w and with the higher wattage it'll give you more starting capacity for items that draw more on start up.

We have one we used to charge camera batteries, mobiles etc on.  They are good but take a while.  Have to say we have just bought an EHU hook up instead so we can charge several things at once but I guess it depends on how much you want to use it.

I have a 300, runs my sky reciever, b& w tv, and vcr easily, but all my chargers camera, phone, power tools & laptop I use 12v ones for those times I dont have a mains supply.

Using 12v chargers will be far better for your onboard battery, If you think about your average phone charger it takes 240v AC and takes it down to around 5VDC, and if your charger gets warm that is purely "wasted" power. To use an inverter you will be adding an extra step of taking 12v DC up to 240 with all the extra power consumption involved. Playstations, Laptops, etc almost all have 12v car kits availabale which would be much better with less wasted power
