I have a 115v 100W outlet in my Highlander....i guess this would not work then :(....dont want to blow up the fuse in my car!But thanks for posting this in the discussions. I wonder why Coleman or Amazon dont have this detail in the product specs.

Well I went ahead and bought one at Walmart since the one they sell comes with a detachable hose and I could easily return it if it didnt work. On the bottom of the unit it states that it is 235 watts. It worked just fine pluged into my truck :)

On the bottom of my unit it states 120V ~60hZ and 200W. My Toyota Matrix has a 115V/100W outlet. Before I realized the rating on my outlet, I tried using the pump and it would turn off after a few seconds. I had to use my friend's power inverter plugged into the cigarette lighter outlet and then it worked fine! I prefer the 120v electric pump as it is very fast and can be used home or camping with my car - and now an inverter - which is a handy thing to have, anyway!

Yes Puja, I answered same question before, this item is working so simple , just converter plug and it's capacity 500 watt. If you will use 600 watt tool then its gonna break. Do u understand ?

Good brainteaser question! :)Since a "watt" (power) is the product of voltage (volts) and current (amperes), the voltage "in watts" could be expressed as1500 watts / 12.5 amps (which equals 120 volts).

I think the question was... will this unit use 44 watts of power no matter the load? ie... will this unit still consume 44 wats if you only have a 5 watt load...My best guess is it will only use what it delivers to the load plus some wasted power in the 120 to 12 volt conversion process as there are no 100% efficient methods of conversion.

This is an old question, but does need to be answered correctly. The 125 watt rating is for 2 channels driven into an 8 ohm load. With ALL 7 channels being driven at once, this unit was bench tested at 70.5 watts per channel into an 8 ohm load. Each of the 7 channels is CAPABLE of producing 125 watts, but that would be assuming those are the only two channels running at the time. The amp board are limited by the power supply.

The minimum would be a 125 amp fuse (1500 watts/12 volts). I fried the Tiger Claw with about 1000-1100 watts continuous, with no real surge needed. A tech friend is looking into the problem. He states it really should be loaded to 1,200 watts total due to the internal parts. That is beyond my expertise, though. The Tiger Claw was replaced by a Samlex PSE24175a, which has performed flawlessly under the same load. I now have a Samlex PSE 2000 watt 24v which works with the same load, plus a window A/C with no problem. The old saying goes....You get what you paid for.

What were the weather conditions? I'm thinking about possible lightning strike. That's why we fuse the positive input from the array. What is the input voltage, amperage, wattage? You aware of input limits? 150V/260W. I've put in up to 261W from a 290W array without harm. Losses etc. keep the panels from reaching spec output but even if wattage was a little over, it would clip the excess power but probably not a lot past that limit, which is why I think it peaked at 261W. This is why I've ordered the 4210RN to take it up to 40A and 520W but within 100V input. Please match charge controller to array characteristics. What were the weather conditions?

Hi the wattage states up to 1500W (it has a secondary plug so you can plug things into it as it takes up your whole wall mount the secondary plug goes up to 500W). However the voltage is 120. It also states 60 Hz and 12.5 amps if that helps.

Hello Natalya,Thanks for your interest. It shows that its a 120V/600W on the back. You can check out the pics on the listing.Let me know if you have any more questions.Thanks,

I looked through the booklet and could not find a watt rating. I've always just plugged mine into the normal wall outlet to use. Haven't had any problems.

OK, this is how I think of it. Watts=amps x volts. So from their description, 7 watts = amps x 12 volts. This makes 7 / 12 = amps putting it at .58 amps. I checked the back of the panel. It says 467 mA. Google says 467 milliamperes = 0.467 amperes. Kinda close? Hope this helps.

I think you panels are a little too powerful for this converter, it's only 240 Watt. It's a great little item for running devices directly from Solar Panels, I was using it yesterday. I connected it to a Renogy 50 Watt bendable panel then the output to a 100 Watt "cigarette lighter" style inverter. Then I plugged my 45 Watt base guitar amplifier into it and boomed out the neighborhood with a tuneful little melody! The trick is getting the 20 Volt Solar Panel output down to 12 Volts for an inverter, but be careful you don't overpower it!

I used this for two 10s then my rear 6x9s. The 1600 watts isn't true power you can get maybe 400W, but mostly 300 depending on how you wire stuff. It did make a nice little thump with the 10s in a custom box but i would go Audiobahn or Rockford since they are way cheaper these days.Look at the Audiobahn A8002M 2200W 2 Channel Class A/B Intake Series, little more price wise but you'll get at least 1000w true and its way better built. It used to be in the $300 to $400 range for this quality. If you really want power gonna have to spend at least $300 so that your not just blurting out noise but the above is for quality with a nice bump or rock music.

When did I say anything about 5 watts???? I never stated anything about the specs, I just said it worked well within the railroad yard. In fact I believe I noted I had not tried it at range.

My background is Electrical Engineering. I have one of these and it's rated at 12V 1300 mA (1.3 Amp) Voltage x Current = Power. So in this case 12 x 1.3 = 15.6 Watts. So, at 6 Volts the available current is 15.6 W / 6 Volt = 2.6 Amp or 2600 mA. So at 6 Volts it should provide up to 2,600 mA, as rated. I wouldn't be afraid to try it at 6 Volts and 1300 mA since that's about 50% of its rated load.

In the specifications it lists the power requirements:* Input Voltage: 12VDC Power (max): 24W. This means you need a DC power supply that provides a maximum of 12 Volts DC and 24watts of power minimum. Several power supplies can be found on Amazon. So a 12 VDC, 25-30 watt power supply will work just fine.

I have one and no need for watts these things are bright for their size! Not to mention tough. I had it on my car when I went into the back of a truck at 50mph and the only thing that survived was my light bar and me. The thing still works like new!
