How many amps does this pull off a 12V battery?Wondered if I could use a small 12V not a big marine battery.

yeah it doesn't pull that much. I have it on my four wheeler and it's just fine. No need for marine battery
1599986
not sure how many amps it pulled but I ran it off a motorcycle battery no trouble

I have three batteries on my boat each is connected through an 80 amp continuous solenoid. The set up works fine it keeps me from having to open the hatch to turn the batteries on and off each time. ALWAYS remember to turn off when not in use or leave the battery charger on otherwise they will run the batteries down. Hope this helps. Charles

I checked the one I installed on my generator, it shuts off at 1.96 amps @13.2 Vdc. A fully charged 12 Vdc mattery will read 12.7 volts and 12.4 at 50%. If it's on a system that has an alternator then it will run around 13.4 to 14.2, which will lower the amps slightly.

It's only uses 760 mA =.760 A. You could run it for 40 hours and still start your engine. Normal deep cell marine batteries have 84 amp hours.. So the answer of your question would be yes

Yes, i have used it with a 12 volt battery in my fish houe. Works great. I get around 6 hours of run time.

Yes it will run off any 12v system with a small battery you wont have as much run time as you would a deep cycle or automotive battery , but I am sure it would last all weekend if thats the only thing running off of it ... run a in line fuse of the red wire " positive " & run it how you would like from there .mine has wire coming off the fuse link so I put a eye style connector of that to the battery post .

Rated at 155 min or approximately 2.5 amp/hour steady state. I run 4 batteries on my 370 Sea Ray Sundancer due to refrigerators, ice makers, etc. which create a lot of battery drain. I've had the boat for 10 years and thus far I have been through banks of West Marine Gel Batteries, Lifeline, Blue Top Optimas and for the last two years, Sears Diehard Platinum Marine Batteries. For what it's worth, in my application, the Diehards outperform the rest in true amp/hour life....even the Lifelines which were much more expensive.

Hi, The average running time is 3 amps per hour. I do not know if it will run all night on your car battery because I do not know the amp hours and condition of it, however your marine battery would run it for approximately 30 hours before it would have to be recharged. Joe

It's only 100 watts so I just use it for a 12volt marine deep cycle battery. It comes with Anderson PowerPole connectors and a set with Alligator clips. It will recharge a vehicles battery as well.

The unit only pulls 100 amps when you in essence create a short circuit across the battery terminals through a big power resistor. You should not hold the short for more than 10 seconds. If the needle stays in the green during that period you have a good Automotive battery which is often called upon during an engine start to pull 300 to 450 amps. I have found it to show useful information on several types of 12v batteries, but I am not sure that it was designed for a deep cycle battery. It did find deep cycle batteries that dropped into the yellow from the green, and they were older batteries. I would try to contact the manufacturer for more engineering data. Hope this helps. Dick

No more than five amps. I use it with a 12v remote jumper battery without a problem.

Use a 12 volt largest marine battery you can get. Keep it charged up and should last all day while out

I recommend a min of 10 amp rating ...pref..marine grade(sealed) if u in a wet environment U can also use a relay ...tends to be more reliable ,and switch lasts longer...Marine use is harder than off road truck/automotive use Connections should be coated for rust/etc

You can use the 12vdc. 3 amp. It's a 12vdc light strip. Works good on my boat

I'm sorry we have only had our battery for a little over a year & used it once during Hurricane Sandy October 2013 & did t have an issue with a marine battery I think it is 75 amps. I took the book to a store called batteries plus & they gave the suitable waterproof battery with a 3 yr warranty. Hope that helps a bit.

Mine runs on the 12V system in my tour boat. You just attach the right size terminals to the positive and negative wires for the 12V plug, and attach them to the + and - terminals of your 12v battery, or better yet, to + and - bus bars that are attached to your battery. I've liked this amp so far. Good luck.

I have used this to keep a 12 volt marine battery fully charged all summer and it worked well. I used a charge controller between the solar panel and the battery. This is the one I used.AGPtek® 30A Solar Panel Power Battery Charge Controller / Regulator 12V / 24V 30 Amp with PWM Type of Charging (Automatic Lighting Control + Time Functions). Of course, you can use any charge controller.
