Actually would work just fine for charging most cell phones.  Would work for
some older lap top computers but not so well on newer ones.

 But for most of todays stuff I would have to agree that is a bit too small.
A 150w sustained is about the smallest that would be useable for most apps.
The best size that I would recommend is a 400w sustained.  Depending on who
is selling the inverter that could be labeled a 600w peak.

Planned insanity is best.
