A power inverter converts DC current from your car battery to AC current, which is what you need for most appliances. You can employ a power inverter in a recreational vehicle, so that you can use your car battery to power a refrigerator or electric stove. You'll see power inverters that are classified by their input voltage: either 12 V or 24 V. You can also characterize them by their power load: their are lightweight inverters, which you can use to power a laptop or camera. Then there are heavy duty inverters, suitable for televisions, kitchen appliances, and electronics. You have to be careful about choosing the power of your power inverter: many appliances need a much greater surge of power to get them started (called "peak power"), than what they employ afterwards to continue running ("continuous power").
