I'm planning to use my PartyBox 110 while driving, but I want to make sure I don't accidentally blow my cigarette lighter. I have a 300W 12V to 230V converter, but the lighter can only handle up to 130W. I need to know how many watts the PartyBox consumes, even when it's turned off. Does anyone have the specs or can give me an idea?

Check the specs on the back of the PartyBox or in its manual. It usually says 60W, but many users have measured it drawing around 130W to 160W during use. Just be cautious, especially when using it through the converter.
The PartyBox claims an audio output of 160W, but that's a peak figure, not what it runs continuously. The real power draw is generally around 60W from what users have shared, so you'd be good as long as your inverter's efficient enough. You should be okay using it with your 110W outlet as long as everything's within specs.
I saw that too! If your inverter is around 80% efficient, it should handle it without issues.
Yeah, I noticed a lot of people measuring up to 150W at times. Just keep in mind that the listed spec might not be the steady draw!
