what kind of run time length do you think I would get on this running a 13,500 btu A/C low pro rv unit. and using the dc charger

We just did this camping last weekend. Lasted 5-6 hours on 1.5 gallons of gas

This unit is strictly a 12 volt DC powered compressor. If you wish to use this on house current, you will need to use a 12 volt DC power supply which could handle the required amperage. I would suggest a small car or lawn mower battery of at least 100 ampere capacity. Put a trickle charger on it and you would good to go. Most of these battery powered compressors will draw considerable current during operation and they will get hot so be sure to take care when operating and keep the compressor clear of any combustible items.

I ran an AC unit off this that was rated at 6.3 amps (+ surge) and it got slightly warm but not a concern........if you can afford it, i would get the next one up from this unit......however, this may work, but the hotter it gets the less life it may have/ possible fire hazzard

I am very doubtful that you could run either of these major appliances. I run a very small frig/freezer on my boat that uses about 25 amp/hours per day. I think these much larger appliances have much larger compressors and would use a lot more electrical energy.

I have 5 100 watt and 7 group 96 deep cycle batteries and I can run a 5000 btu air conditioner for most of the day time. If you need more help email me at keithlmcneese@yahoo.com

joseph I did not check with my amp meter, however is your application special need like low draw will ??? otherwise for RVporch and interior use the draw is very low and I really like for RV use hope it helps gene

Rajesh,The run time depends on the size of your battery not the inverter.Joe

It would completely depend on what you are running I have not ran it down yet but you never really want to run a battery with high amp draw down under 40% with. I would guess a dc refg 3 days. You take the total amp hours times 12 gives you the watt hours on the battery. I haven't done it yet.

What is your question? What type of AC unit do you have, i.e., RV roof unit, portable unit, floor unit, wall unit, commercial roof unit? Every capacitor is different based on it schematic drawing located inside cover plate. I will assume you have a RV 13,500 BTU AC unit. If so, take the cover off the air conditioner unit of your travel trailer. Open the access panel. Look at the schematic drawing on the access panel or ac cover. The brown wire is for the fan of the ac unit, do not install to the brown wire. The hard start capacitor black wire that has extra connector at the end is connected to red line and the other black wire is connected to the yellow wire of the ac unit. The instructions that came with the hard start capacitor should show which black line with the extra connector connects to the red line and the other goes to the yellow line.

Yeah, but with only a 6 amp charge rate, it might take a while. The charger does work well, though. I use it for my 27 series cranking battery in my boat, which I never run all the way down. The two deep cycle batteries that run my trolling motor use a charger that has 15 amps per bank.

Amps are only used on demand. As long as your rv does not exceed a 30 amp draw you won't exceed 30 on the surge protector

Hi, I believe you'll need to figure out what the amperage is of the power supplies that what you want to run and if anything else is running on the same circuit. I read in the reviews and elsewhere that you should use this accessory with a 15A or less fuse, so I have it on a circuit with 15A in my travel trailer. My laptop 12v power supply uses 3.5A, the Coleman 12v cooler uses 5A, the phone charger uses 1.5A I think. I have run the cooler and a charger at the same time without it melting or blowing a fuse. I did fry the last dual power outlet (different make, felt cheaper) with the same usage (Caveat: I am not an electrician and am just sharing my experience.)

About the only way that you can manage to effectively run an AC unit on battery power is to have a minimum of 600+W of Solar, installed correctly with shortest possible runs of 6 gauge wire hooked up to no less than 1000ah bank of "Lithium Iron Phosphate" batteries. The Lithium Battery is the key component, its less than half the weight, can draw 50% more power from it, charges to 100% max in a fraction of the time and last 500% longer. http://www.technomadia.com/2012/09/a-year-on-lithium-rv-batteries/http://www.balqon.com/1000-ahr-lithium-battery/

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.

I know they run on 12volts dc and I read back through some of the comments from others that have purchased and it has a 4amp draw. Hope that helps.

It has a hook up for 12 volt D/C or 120 volt A/C so it will work off your RV batteries. I am currently using it in my 18 wheeler and it runs off 4 batteries I have in my truck. I can leave it running over the weekend and still crank up the truck Monday morning. So there should be no problem of a solar system keeping a battery charged to run it. One thing I do not like is it has to sit flat like a chest. As you see it pictured that it how it has to stay to run. You cannot turn it up like a regular refrigerator.

If there is a "AC" version, I'm not aware of it as I never looked for one. My application is for a "DC" powered TurboKool for my RV.
