This is part 2 of my guide, you can find the first one [Here](https://steemit.com/doityourself/@simba/how-to-build-your-own-solar-power-station-for-camping-part-1 "Here"). So finally, the inverter came in. I also bought a short cable with a socket for the external 220V connector. First, I chopped a small portion of the wire, as I only needed about 20cm of cable. I re-wired the socket connector after I passed it through the hole I drilled in the box:   I used hot glue-gun to stick the 220V socket to the external side of the box, in hind-sight it might have been a mistake, as it might melt in the sun, we'll see about that :)  The cheap 200W inverter I bought comes with a universal adapter, I needed to use it for the european-style sockets we have here in Israel. This wasn't sitting right, so sticked it together to make sure it holds. The other end of the inverter I connected to the battery output, same as the USB Ports:  Once done, I placed it in the sun and plugged a regular cellphone charger, and it was charging nicely.  If any of you ends up building one of these too, i'd love to hear and see your results :) have fun :) -Simba.
