Target has a decent one for $40, and I think a cheaper one for $30. Best 
buy has a real big one for close to $100. Make sure to get enough 
Wattage to power what you want continuously. Often they'll say something 
like 300Watts, but when you read the fine print it's 300Watts peak and 
200Watts continuous. It's best to be on the safe side. Even though the 
things have fuses, I've found that you can completely burn them out by 
hooking them up to something that draws too much. I have yet to find one 
that will charge my wife's electric wheelchair in our van.
