Have a look on the charger to see what power is required, I use a 600W for my Makita 18V batteries.

You also need to ascertain whether you need a pure sine wave inverter. I have batteries that can only be charged with the pure sine wave inverter.

Better buying something bigger than the smallest required just for a charger. 600w would give you more useage. Would also suggest buying a pure sine wave inverter to use with electronics. There are a few different chargers around, check the size of your one.

My Ryobi 18V charger is rated at 55W, so a 300W inverter would be plenty.

A 150W inverter would do it but, it seems, 300W is cheaper and a more useful size in any event.

Take a look at this:
E-bay 300W inverter
looked at this one ,the head line says pure sine wave ,the info below says modified ?
I dunno. E-mail them and ask.
