1500W? At 12V that's 125A - That is fucking dangerous! Most sockets are rated at 20A. Most inverters that are >300W use crocodile clips, or preferably screw-down terminal rings. The cable looks way too thin too. That's a fire waiting to happen....

It's not dangerous, you'll just instantly pop the fuse. Most likely the power rating is just a blatant lie, much like the cornucopia of Chinese flashlights on Amazon rated at 2,000,000 lumens.
yeah those amazon listings are ridiculous, i've seen "9999999 lumen" flashlights that can barely light up a room lol. if you're looking for legit flashlights with actual specs, check out gearscouts.com/flashlights - they compare the real specs so you don't get scammed.
