How many amps can I run through this before I have to worry about overheating... could I run 50 amps for 2 hrs and no worries? help please

Hello, I really couldn't answer that, here is the website for the manufacturer http://www.hydroclubusa.com/products.php. And just know that this cell kit is only one piece of the kit. You need to let them know what kind of car you have...and I would suggest finding an installer too. Good luck!

You could probably do that although I wouldn't advise it. The heat build up is the problem and it might get a bit too hot unless you have a really good PWM and good heatsink.

I have mine running off a 50 amp breaker to cover absolute max inpot reguired. You can get away with a smaller breaker if you are using at a lower output.

In practice it's more like 6 amps, but at room temperature mine runs less than 20% of the time. Of course the lower the temperature it's set at and/or the higher the ambient temperature is the more it runs. I fear there is no one size fits all scenarios answer to this question. Also in practice, I had no trouble running two of these in the upper 90's (daytime, of course) on about 800 watts of solar panels.

This is the thing you could use.I don't know about amps tho.The ones I use carry thirty amps fine so....

Yes, you really should. It might not always run 30 amps continuously when it's on, but if you have anything else on it, you really risk tripping the breaker. (Obviously, 20A or lower breakers would not do at all.)

The UL label states it is a 50-watt product. I do not know how many amps it uses. As for how hot it gets, after heating my food for about an hour I am still blowing on the last bite to cool it before eating it. The food gets very hot.

I have 2 of these amps I placed 1st at local sound comp 149.9 db luis is a tard it pushed 2 18 dc hard also check the imp. 0.02 pretty good for a cheap amp never overheat no problems I sugg a 2 far. cap to run with it

Forget @ using any of these units for heat. Look up an amp meter chart etc., compare what you heater will draw and divide the 1000 W and you will see the heater won't run for half an hour...a hair dryer will kill it quickly. This is strictly for lights, etc. Save it for medical equipment etc. in extended outages... maybe an occasional microwave use , etc. Even a computer charge will run it down. Be Careful how you use it. Also you can save a lot of power by using only lamps with the new twisted looking lamp bulbs .. Thet use @ 1/3 the power. Save the power for a quick sump pump need nothing continuous except lights. For heat, look into a small wall natural gas heater ( if you have gas heat ) @ $300. will heat 1000 sq feet quite well. Get a warm coat and blankets if the power may be out for days or you will be w/o lights too. Otherwise geta generator..note most condos won't allow them

Not sure on the max wattage. I am running a 1200 watt amp at 2 ohm. Have amp at about 75 percent for over a year no issues except on super hot days if car is sitting in the sun it will kick into protection mode. I recommend you run power on one side sub outs on the other side of car. And keep all power wires as short as possible

My guess is that the motor will draw to much amperage and overheat the regulator. Electronics pull very little amperage compared to motors. Good Day to you.

I had the same problem at the time determining the maximum current but I think most fans should be ok. I used it for a fairly large fan so I'm guessing most is good for most 15 amp circuits .

I think you two didn't understand the question, I think he's asking what is the /20hr mean, it means that if you ran just under 1 amp you could run it for 20 hrs, while the other ones dont tell you the hr rate of the ah rating...

Ive had 2 of these for a year and half they are badass. I personally use a 40 amp breaker to run them. Pullin roughly 600 watts. I used 30 amp fueses and would always blow them when the bass hit low. P.S this is for 2 subs at 2 ohms make sure your amp will handle this and dont try to put 600 watt to one sub. You will blow one in a heart beat. Been there done that. Haha.

I would, but not that well cause this amp is only rated at 500 wats rms, and 2 12's at 400 a piece is more than it can handle. It would probably start to get warm or even hot.

They seem to handle between 1 - 1.5 amps no problem. Going over 2 you might fry it. You can also check out this load test video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYf7qKuZF_I

I let it run through the 15 min. cycle with heat. It will start right back up if I want it to. Honestly, 15 min. is enough....this thing isn't for pansies. ;)

if you have problems at the start, i am sure amazon will back you. i used my inverter for 3 days straight with no problems and am saving it for emergencys now, you should call power bright (company) talk to them and feel them out. for the money it is a great buy, but do not overload it drawing too much power. it has a fan built in, if it is running warm, ok, but if it is hot, let cool and try reducing load so it does not get hot. if it is running hot it will burn out in time. electronics can run cool or warm, if hot somethings wrong.
