Can you use this cord outside?

Depends, it is not sealed, made for indoor use, you can use it outside, as long as it's not raining or wet. Mine is attached to my roll-about garage workbench, I use it in the garage and the driveway.

I've never tried but it is a solid piece of equipment so as long as there is no rain I would say go for it!

If you mean "Is this cord rated for outdoor use", the answer is no. It should not be used in wet situations (ie, rain, snow, bathrooms) as it is not sealed for that and can pose a mean, nasty shock situation. You can use it outdoors (or anywhere else) if the surroundings are dry.

Yes, it is definitely heavy duty. Take normal precautions about water, etc.

Not sure if this will answer your question or not -- we use it outside, but don't leave it outside. We needed a power strip with a cord long enough to reach from our hot tub to the outside GFIC wall receptacle. We have a 32" televison on a mobile cart that we roll out on the patio to enjoy NASCAR and hot tubbing, or just to take advantage of the cable music channels outside. I've had no problems with this unit, hower, except when in use the power strip is inside the house on the cart with the televison.

yes, cord is water resistant, but if your power supply connection will be exposed to elements then you might want to wrap it in electrical tape. I have it mounted outdoors under roof eves and its fine

I would not recommend the cable for outside, use it inside only. I made my own wifi network to use my tablet, computer , or phone outside.

I would NOT recommend this for outdoor use. You need an extension made for outdoor use, and, the correct cord to carry the power you need to satisfy whatever you will be running outside (vary from 16, 14, 12, etc. gauge, about 6 ft to 100 ft lengths). I would suggest a visit to your local Lowes, Home Depot or home center with your exact usage needs and ask for someone with electrical experience.

I'm using it outdoors without any issues. Don't recall any marking on the cord as to how it should be used.

No. I believe it can only be used outside. I've only used it outside and it works great.

Yes, if using outdoor, please use an extension cord with GFCI circuit protector, which is available in your local Home Depot or Ace Hardware Store.

I have been using mine several years with one of the heavy, orange, outdoor extension cords and it has worked fine. I do take the precaution as they recommend, to not allow the cord connection to sit in the snow.

The plug is UL listed for indoor use only. Not to say it wouldn't work outside, but it is sold for indoor use. :)

correction to my answer not sure if it is for outdoor use, but i use it outdoors only when plugged into my generation with no issues. it is made for a generator which you can not be used indoors.

The manual says it is not recommended but if you do use the shortest length possible and use one labeled for outdoor use. I see no problem using a heavy duty cord. Art Dunford

Would not suggest that. I purchased a heavier outdoor cord from Lowes and burried it under the driveway 3 years ago for a fencer. No problems. Hope this helps... Bill

That's what I used it for. It will go through the second season in the elements when I put it out shortly. The cord works fine so far.

As I understand it, this is an indoor only unit. The cord can outside, but not the unit.

Yes you can. You have to because the cord is so short. I use a heavy duty grounded cord. It's the same one I use for my trimmer.

an outdoor extension cord would move the charger, as long as it is protected from the elements it would work ok

Hi there - I'm not certain if it can be used outside. Since it does contain a plug-in heating pad inside the cushion, my concern would be that the electric cord would come into contact with water. Something to think about . . . I did see other pads in Amazon that are made for outdoor use. Why not take a look at those? Good luck!
