Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide a single battery pack inverter that reduces cost and improves user experience at a worksite. Single battery pack inverters described herein provide a housing, a battery pack interface provided on a first surface of the housing to receive a power tool battery pack, an output interface provided on a second surface of the housing for powering external devices, and an inverter circuit in the housing for converting direct-current (DC) power from the power tool battery pack to alternating-current (AC) power provided at the AC outlet. The single battery pack inverters also include a hanging hook provided on the housing and configured to be pivotable between a first position and a second position. The hanging hook enables the single battery pack inverter to hang onto a support when the hanging hook is in the second position.
