any info on power draw at 12 Volts? e.g. 40 watts

Off grid 12v solar w/440ah reserve this unit would typically draw 5 amps when it cycles. DC power can be finicky, The better and shorter wiring or connection to your battery - battery bank, the better this unit will run. Try to use an independent or more direct source/circuit. Avoid plugging into a source already feeding other accessories. Also, make sure the vents are clear.Edit to add; 60-65 watts according to a dc amps to watts calc.

Whynter's website just says 65 watts. it's 4.5 amps using 12 volt or 2.5 amps using 24 volt. I've only used 12 volt with mine and I use a portable power unit (rechargeable jump starter), using the D.C. plug on the power unit, not the A.C. plug. With this power unit I can run the freezer at -8 in high 90 degree weather for about 8 hours. I was told I could go about 24 hours with a deep cycle battery. Hope this helps!

Not very much, I ran on one 12 volt deep cycle for 24 hours but was only 65 degrees outside, I can give you a better answer in a week when home, great unit

I don't know exactly, but would guess more like 50 watts as it can drain two heavy duty batteries is about 24 hours using 12 volt hook up.

Joe, It seems to be a little more than 40 watts. at 12v it draws 4 -5 amps - 48 to 60 watts. I use a 100 watt solar panel which will do 7+ amps, to charge the trailer batteries and run the frig freezer during the daylight hours. This arrangement has kept my ice cream frozen for four days in Death Valley (90-100) temps without starting the tow vehicle. .

Well, that load is within spec. I have not run mine this hard, but at this price it seems worth a try.I have had excellent performance thus far at 48V, probably 2-3 A.

Watt is Power = Voltage * Current; In this case 12V * 20A = 240W. Anyone, feel free to chime in if im missing something.

Home Depot or lowes, just bring it with you, and see if you can find the wattage in the literature

It depends on the voltage. P=UI. so I=P/U. If you connect a 12V battery, the amp draw will be 36W/12V=3A

that's what I am doing - here's what i am finding...the control item (using a kill-a-watt) is still drawing .005 amps when everything else is off...i know this is practically negligible and in the scheme of things it's not really gonna matter money wise, just led me to the question that if the most least power consumption device (i.e. -0-) was the control item there would be absolutely no draw whatsoever. Thank you for your replies and if I am completely off base, please let me know

Typical low voltage power supply range...I would think no more than 20 guage ...for 12 volts +-

In the specifications it lists the power requirements:* Input Voltage: 12VDC Power (max): 24W. This means you need a DC power supply that provides a maximum of 12 Volts DC and 24watts of power minimum. Several power supplies can be found on Amazon. So a 12 VDC, 25-30 watt power supply will work just fine.

OHM's Law...V=IR Therefor 12volts=0.005X2400 The power (or watts) will be 0.06watts. If you want proof try this link and put in the variables http://www.ohmslawcalculator.com/ohms-law-calculator Kind regards, John.

You can use any sized 12v supply but to reach full functionality you should use 320 watt (4 x 80w = 320 watt power supply) or larger. This will give you full 4 port x 80 watt charging.

I don't think there is any such thing as "milliamp volts", since volts x amps (or milliamps) = watts (or milliwatts). The package says the current draw is 5.000 milliamps and I believe that rating is at 12 volts. Suffice it to say, the draw is negligible.

For those needing this also... 2.4 amps on a 12 volt battery is about 30 watts which is pretty efficient for this size of unit. Hope that helps.

5amp at 12 volts is 60watts, slightly underrated. If you intend to use white at full intensity (or many of the other color combinations) you could pull close to the rated 72 watts each strip which is 6 amps. I would spend the extra money on a good properly rated power supply.

its a 12 VOLT DC vaccuum the fuse in the plug is rated at 10 amps so it will draw less than 120 W

According to the manufacturers documentation, minimum 600W power supply (with a minimum 12V current rating of 42A). Just search for the model number.

Yep. Limit for a 12V system is 260W. As it's mppt you can run up to 150V and it will break down to feed the 12V converting the excess voltage into amperage so you have to consider limits on that end. I've run a pair of 145W in series but it would clip the power at 261W. Presently have a pair of 100W in series feeding 36-38V no problem charging 2 225Ah 6V batteries.

You only need about 30 watts. 30 watts divided by 12 volts is 2.5 amps of 12 volt DC power.
