The manufacturers specification are 110/220Volts, and in the FAQ's its says the input voltage is selected automatically by the electronics, so now I am not sure, if Schuhmacher also has a 110volt unit only??

The input voltage is 120volts. 60hz @ up to 14.5 amps. So up to 1740 watts ac. Hopes this helps. It's a great charger just it is heavy and the clamps are bulky. Compared to the Midtronics. But in my opinion this is still the better charger

Back of the charger states 120v 15amp input. We have 3 other chargers we purchased this one for a stable battery voltage for flashing ecm units

not sure how many amps you need..... but I would not buy that charger again. I went w/1 that will read batteries and auto shut off. do your self a favor and buy a good charger.

The 12V charger on this unit is minimal, maybe 10 watts, it should say in the specs, but I don't remember. I know I used the 12V plug on my motor home start battery and it barely made a difference on a 600 watt battery. You could use a separate 12V charger as long as it doesn't demand too many watts. Good luck.

I bought a Volt after having a couple of prius's and considering a Prius plug-in. When charging a Volt on 110, you must choose 8 or 12 amps. Default is 8 amps (likely due to people with antiquated outlets in their garages, melting their wires. :P ) This charger works almost exactly the same as the charger that comes with the Volt. 10 hours to charge an empty battery on 12 amps and 14 hours on 8 amps. I have a 220 charger at work and it takes 4 hours to charge a Chevy Volt. There are also Chargepoint stations at local restaurants etc (My local Chillis has one) they charge for free while I have a fajita. :) I bought a Volt after having a couple of prius's and considering a Prius plug-in.

On my application, system voltage at 14.0, start up on low speed draws 1.3 amps with a 1.0 amp running current draw, wattage would be 14 running. Start up on high speed draws 2.5 amps with a running current of 1.9 amps, wattage would be 26.6 running. (Wattage equals volts times amps) Hope this helps, Donovan

Please check the Label under your system and take note of the Voltage (V), Current (A) and if possible the Power (W), example (19V 3.95A, 75W). This will help you Know the type of Charger you should buy for your system. Another option is to check for the PART NUMBER of the AC Adapter that came with your system. Search the for the Part Number or compatible Part Number of the AC Adapter that will be compatible for your system.

To obtain the wattage, I would have to see how many amps the motor is rated for and multiply by 6 Volts (the voltage of the battery). I am not sure it is a relevant question, however, since this is a DC battery powered child's toy. The plug in battery charger however is rated at 18 watts if that is what is being inquired about.

Umm, I don't know. Mine has a place in the container for an AAA battery and it recharges by draining that battery. It takes over night at first but after that it's less. On the side of the container is a plugin port for the A/C charger but I've never tried it so I don't know. It gives the voltage (3) and amperage (100ma) so any charger with that exact output will work even used from goodwill. Beware if the ma or milliamps is not shown as if it's higher it could burn up your unit. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Here you go....get a hand magnifier out and look on your original charger for the amperage (that is the amount of power flowing to re-charge you device). Then you need to purchase a charger with at least that amount of amps. Feel free to "Google" if this doesn't makes sense. My daughter has a Samsung phone and took my charger, so I had to re-purchase this charger and it seems to work fine, but a little slow if I have it on and I am playing an app that has a high power usage. Hope this helps.. I own a Samsung Nexus 10 tablet.

Haven't tested this one specifically but almost all that have been legitimately tested that are similar to this one have 2.4 total so if you have one item plugged in it will draw up to 2.4 a. If you have two plugged in the unit will allocate the 2.4 amps between both items but no more. There are plenty of chargers out there that will deliver a full 2.4 amps to each usb port but they are a little more expensive.I hope this helps and good luck!Chris

Hi Dan...I bought the charger to analyze some 14.4 volt batteries from an unknown source. Here's what I said in my review: "It handles the batteries OK but the chargers autopsy pronounced them unresponsive. The next challenge is to find a battery replacement. Hitachi makes one that appears to have the right electrical tabs but I have to see it in person before I'm sure it's the right one." It is a "universal" charger which means a number of batteries from 14 to 18 volts fit the slots. I don't know what batteries Harbor Freight use in their tools but I bet they are some of China's "best". Their web site was no help....

The battery charger is designed to charge the batteries and not to act as a power supply. I do have a new model just out that will milk olmost 4 gallons of milk. I will be putting it up on Amazon very soon. If you are interested in that milkier right now please let me know also send me youre e-mail address the new unit is 109.00 and shippingThank YouDanDansha Farms

I am looking for the voltage that it requires because I have a charger that fits into the itrip and the other end goes into the car power outlet but I don't want to fry the thing. Does anyone know the voltage required?Sha

Parcially correct.To obtain the wattage of a power source or the energy consumption of any device you must multiply the Voltage times the Current (provided or consumed). For example you can find a 12v - 500w source and a 24v - 200w source, the one with the lower voltage has a bigger wattage. It depends more on the application. For example, some automotive an marine battery chargers use 12volts batteries, so they will need a 12v and high wattage charger. Sometimes when you use bigger voltages (i.e. 24, 36, 48 etc) you will need a more complex charging system to keep your batteries balanced.

The charger did not work for me. My batteries were completely discharged and the charger must detect X amount of current before it will activate. Most modern chargers are similar. That having been said the charger must be attached to the first and last battery in the battery bank. Posative to one battery and negative to another. Look at your battery bank. you will see that the batteries are connected together positive to negative. 8 volts each x4 to get the 48 volts. Look for the battery posts that are connected to your charging plug in, and or that have wires going to your speed controller or motor. That is where you want to attach the charger. It should work fine. The charger did not work for me. My batteries were completely discharged and the charger must detect X amount of current before it will activate.

Hi, I believe you'll need to figure out what the amperage is of the power supplies that what you want to run and if anything else is running on the same circuit. I read in the reviews and elsewhere that you should use this accessory with a 15A or less fuse, so I have it on a circuit with 15A in my travel trailer. My laptop 12v power supply uses 3.5A, the Coleman 12v cooler uses 5A, the phone charger uses 1.5A I think. I have run the cooler and a charger at the same time without it melting or blowing a fuse. I did fry the last dual power outlet (different make, felt cheaper) with the same usage (Caveat: I am not an electrician and am just sharing my experience.)
