Can I plug this into an inverter to pull from my car's cigarette lighter?

I do not know if you can power this tool from car's cigarette lighter. I have only used this chainsaw within 100ft of my home with a long extension cord to electrical outlet at house.

i do not recommend pluging into car lighter plug. the unit draws too much power. it comes with clips to hook directly on car battery terminals. they do come smaller and can be plugged into lighter but they have less power (watts). figure out hqw many watts you draw and add 20 percent more and buy a power inverter with that power draw. you can not draw more power than the inverter puts out or the power inverter will blow. these power inverters are great when power goes out. you can run 25 watt floresent bulb for over a day with them on a mid size charged car battery, or even a tv. you do not need to keep a generator running all the time. i have two car batterys charged all the time if power goes out. i also have portable solar pannels 12 volt to charge batterys. this is a hobby for me.

YES. Get an ac to DC converter here on amazon. DONE! BESTEK 90W Power Supply AC to DC Adapter Car Cigarette Lighter Socket 12V/7.5A DC Power Converter

If you have the basic skills then yes. Looks to be a transformer though, you could purchase an auxiliary power port, similar to a cigarette lighter, hard with that and then plug it it. That would be best cause the on/off switch is on the transformer that lugs into the lighter.

This unit only draws 50 watts, half an amp. A 100 watt inverter plugged into your cars 12V plug is more than you'll need to run this unit in a car.

This inverter is to big for cig.lighter direct hook up to battery..wire that come with this inverter is a little light..you might want to get heavier gauge..

A 120 volt 300 watt inverter will draw only 2.5 amps from a 12 volt source. It is safe, most cigarette lighters are 10 amp fused. I have a 300 watt inverter from Bestek I use ALL the time camping, it works great.

Only if you have a regular outlet in your car. Some vehicles do. Hubby has a power inverter in his rig, so I bought this for him.

Yes, it can plug into a car cigarette lighter port. As a matter of fact, it is the only connection type it comes with to power it. Also, dont buy a cheap AC to DC wall convertor. this thing draws more amps than those can handle and they will either blow or wont work.

Not sure what kind of "dc hook up" you have, but these heaters are AC powered.Theoretically, you could set up a DC to AC cigarette lighter inverter in your car and plug it into that.But, be advised that this heater draws a constant 1,500 watts.So, you would need to get a compatible, higher-amp inverter and hope that your car electronics can handle it.Good luck.

No. I recommend you only hook it directly to the battery as it draws too much current to connect through the cigarette lighter and will likely blow fuses in your vehicle.

No it's a convential one.It uses gasoline.A inverter uses a DC source,car battery then converts it to AC

You can move it around as much as you'd like! I used to have a smaller 200 watt inverter that I dragged back and forth between the house and my car without a problem. Just make sure it's turned off when you're ready to unplug it and don't plug it in to another source unless the unit is switched to off.

Sorry for the Vagueness, I'm talking about using an inverter hooked to my car battery to power small appliances in my tear drop camper

No, but you can use any cigarette lighter to usb adapter for a power source.

i would not recommend using this with an inverter, you would be creating a fire hazard.

No, the opposite. While being used the inverter draws power from the battery and inverts it to alternating current and amplifies it to 125 volts. To figure your battery amp draw simply divide the total wattage of the device being powered by 12 (your supply voltage) and you will get your amp draw at the battery. For example if you had a 1200 watt load running, your battery amp draw would be approximately 100 amps. A load of this size would drain your average car battery in 10-15 minutes and possibly ruin the battery. Inverter/chargers are available, but to charge your batteries you need to plug in the inverter/charger to utility power. No, the opposite.
