School me on inverters

[smlobx]

ntsqd would you care to describe your usb install?

Anybody want to add to this list of items that may need charging via DC chargers or an inverter (and the device's AC charger) while wandering the West? Perhaps the list will help us think through whether we have the bases covered in our trip planning.

- cell phone(s)--- (the 's' means don't forget to plan for the phones of everyone traveling with us!)
- iPads/tablets
- iPods/MP3 players
- phone and tablet add-on battery packs (for extended use)
- camera batteries
- satellite messengers (Inreach, Spot w/Nimh batteries, etc)
- CPAP batteries
- portable radio batteries (I'm thinking FRS, marine VHF, and portable Ham and scanner radios powered by rechargeable batteries)
- tool batteries
- rechargeable AA, AAA, etc battery charger
- kids electronics
- rechargeable 'tactical' flashlights, spotlights, and other lights (Streamlight, Fenix, etc)
- micro jump starters (AntiGravity, JumpNGo, etc)

Others?

(edited 11/9 to add mp3 players)

We carry a sonicare toothbrush, which can only be charged using its adapter plugged into AC. The adapter IS a transformer, the base forming the primary and the toothbrush itself the secondary windings. It seems to work and not complain with the cheap (probably square wave) inverter I use.
