Power Block? Can someone point me in the right direction for a power block I can use. I know that its extremely to get the current/ voltage right.

I had a spare 12V, 3.75A from a Samsung monitor lying around so that's what I used. Almost any 12v power brick will do though.

Mine didn't come with a place to plug in an adapter, so bought a female jack from radio shack, then I drilled a hole in the side & soldered the pos. & neg. to the battery terminals. I used an old power supply that I had which was 3volts / 1000mA. I believe 2 D cell device needs 3 Volts, but I wasn't sure on the amps, so I tried itanyway. It makes the fan run more powerful than using batteries, so I think it's a bit too much, but I have had it running all night for several nights. Had it since Oct, I think .... it's been to NYC & Hawaii & still running stong! Great fan! Well worth the money.

this is a terminal block that can handle 12 volts with no more than 8 amps of current if you replace the current wires that come with it.they look like they came out of a computer or plone block. you could also hook your devices to relays and use the block to supply voltage to the switch side of the relay.

My power supply got thrown into a box of other power supplies. Now I don't know which one it is. I just need to know the voltage/amp rating for mine. I found new ones here:http://www.fitnessrepairparts.com/cart/ViewItem/13002288If anyone knows what voltage these put out, it would be very helpful to me.

put a active wire,off the drok dc meter, to the active line being used to, run things in your rv that should use of power and what is left good luck Chris

Wish I could help you. Brought it to give as a gift. From what I've heard it works great, but as far as wattage - no clue. Why don't you try googling company & contacting them for technical info. Good luck

This is probably too obvious and may not be helpful, but you need to adjust the current as well as the voltage. When I first started using this power supply, I had a similar concern, but found that adjusting current before voltage helped. Sorry if this is not helpful.

For me, I ain't have any power on/off issues on mine.You need to check if it has been misused unknowingly.Mine still remain ok.I have two of it, they are very ok

David, We are building a new house. Its in but no permanent power to it yet. I will hook it up this weekend and experiment. I will try to respond to this again after I have info.

Hey Edwars O. Not sure. What type/sort of system are you putting together? 6V 12V? What are you needing to run, and for how long? What are your energy needs? I can't answer your question my friend without more info. I personally use the 400 watt system with another 100 watt panel. I match my batt bank so every 100 watt of solar for 100Ah of storage. Yes, it is over kill for just myself! I'm still in the learning processes if you will. The panels that come with this kit have zero issues with charging the batteries on cloudy days. I'm very happy with this basic system so far!!

thank you all for your response. I now understand what I need, at least 8 amps power supply ...enjoy your weekend!!!! :_)

Funny that you asked me this question... I am an Electrician by trade, and I have No Idea about the DC low Voltage on this perticular component..? I just matched it with the other 4 GB Ram memory board that came with the pc... I can take a reading, and get back with you on this, but normally I wire homes dealing with AC Electrical Current...

.Well you could use an old PSU... (As long as it's rated > 300 watts.)However using an old PSU, you risk "stability" problems. (Working fine at first, then reoccurring unexplained problems.) And the older PSUs were very inefficient. (Draws power watts from the wall, but the power never gets to the blade.)You are likely to save $ (and headaches/problems) in the long run (remember this will be plugged in 24/7) by getting a newer PSU with a 80% - 90% efficiency rating to save the most electricity.Hope this helps, Jack

Yes, I just plugged ours right in. It's a little power brick like you've probably seen before, not just a plug though.

Finding an adapter for this hasn't been an easy for me at all. I tried some of the standard ones you find and they're all "switched" or SMPS which is resulting in the fan running for a second, then shutting down for a second, and so on and so on. Now on a wild goose chase for a "linear" or "unregulated" power supply to see if that will solve the issue but overall it's really been a headache. Just find something else unless you really know a thing or two about electronics.

Hi Edward,This is the right way to use the inverter>>> http://www.amazon.com/review/R3RTW2NTIXFOON/Hope this helpsRegards,Angela CS Email Representative

all I can think of is a 12 volt battery with a inverter to give the same power as a AC current outlet. I haven't tried that but it works with other things.just a thought but you should talk to some one in the know.
