Do you need to chill it down on AC before switching to DC? Will DC bring the temp down from room temperature?

This product never needs to be plugged into AC. The unit can become a freezer on DC only.

If the room temperature is 65, why do you even need the AC onBut for that moment I would set it at 75 to insure it does not get any higher than this

Rarely are these things under represented as to features, but this one is. I just bought it, and the specs say it runs on DC from the car, but they don't say it includes an AC adapter, which it does. You do not need to purchase that.

could you please check and tell me what's the rating for the external DC supply ? Vdc ? and current rating (mA)?appreciate your help.thx

To my knowledge it runs until it gets down to about 43 Degrees F then it must cycle off, it does not freeze anything. it works really well on both AD and DC. I have never checked the Amps.

The temperature control is not based on the ac. It's based on the temperature of whatever you have it plugged into. If the temperature hits180 the relay will turn on until the temperature gets back down to 160.

12 volt dc on mine, if i used 110 volts ac it would become a cloud of smoke pretty quick

It says in the instructions to just precool it for 3 hour's. I don't think that it would be a good idea to leave it running all night. We bought a Ac/dc adapter to get it ready in the house.

The temp will go down, just turn quickly but gently.I just purchased a turner anxious to see how it works out.

I did not have any issues with the ac, the only diff is now I don't have the max button. But my ac is still pretty cold without it.

Actually you could use any DC power source at any amperage however if you exceed manufacture listed limits you are assuming ALL liability. You are also altering ALL aspects of performance and results. you also must consider this is a CONDUCTOR, Directly applying Voltage could Damage your Power supply. or rapidly drain a battery.if your getting condensation you may be getting too cold, or you can use a thermal bonding paste to attach it to an aluminum plate and transfer the cold across a larger surface.

The Generic DC Always will energize at least Two Times, Sometimes Three. I have been working on a project for almost 6 month's Getting the bugs out. I have also found that it will also pick up Heat Waves. I use mine out in the elements, in fields, & woods. On the edge of a field you can look across it in the hot part of the day & see Heat waves across the field. It will pick those up. Other than that, it works very well & have had no problems. Thanks Danny

The fan runs when the dc power is connected. I don't know if it will hash without it.

The Klein CL2000 is fine for 12A to 25A DC. I've used it at both lower and higher direct current levels than those.

I bought a cheap fan and put it in the back of the unit to circulate the air. It dropped the temp about 6%'s. I bought an USB fan with a power converter and ran the wires into the fridge between the door. http://www.amazon.com/IO-Crest-Powered-Desktop-SY-ACC65055/dp/B006L6ZL8I/ref=pd_sim_pc_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1XSBKX56VKJV58VX1VF7

I can't answer the AC Dc question but as to the other two Yes, you can keep it plugged in day and it does not get too hot for my cats. I have owned others in the past and they too were never too hot. P.S. my cats love them...

Yes, Max current allowed is typically much lower for dc compared to ac for a given switch.
