I'm not sure about the ST but a 12/3 50 foot with standard US 110 volt 3 pronged outlet is more than enough. I'm using a 14/3 50 foot, this is a very low amp charger.

Same one I use, only 25'.... It's only a 1.5 amp charger so you'll be fine.

Yes, it should be more than enough. This charger isn't going to pull much more than a amp or two. You could use a light weight cord of 16 gage if you wanted. Hope the infoe helps..

Yes, that should be more than adequate. No more than 50 feet, you could probably get by with a 16 gauge extension cord, so the 12 gauge will insure even less voltage drop, especially considering the charger will, at most, only be putting out 1.5 amps.

Sorry Mitchie the order that I got with this charger came with the cord. I order one for my wife and I and it work great. Hope you find the one that came with the cord. Good Luck

It would be fine with an extension cord. It a low draw charger and does not perform a quick charge. Yep, you can leave it plugged in and connected to a battery for ever. It is basically a battery maintainer, where it has the ability to decrease or increase the charge based on it's constant monitoring of the battery. I leave mine plugged into my car all winter long about 7-months.

This is the wire I purchased to extend these lights. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009VCZ4V8/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_hJP7ub0DMTEKV https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009VCZ4V8/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_hJP7ub0DMTEKV

Have used two of these units for two years now as bedroom A/C's and they have performed very well. Cord is about 5 ft. long and I do not believe a person should use an extension cord. I have seen people use a very heavy duty cord (possibly have one made with proper gauge wire and connectors) as short as possible to get them by but it is not a recommended practice. Certainly do not rely on commercially available standard extension cords as they can and will overheat and cause a fire. Check with a local electrician for particulars for safety's sake.

Hi, not sure what you mean. I use an outside electrical extension cord. I got 100 foot, which is good for taking around property without having to switch top alternate outdoor outlet.

I would recommend 12/3 extension cord... All my extension cords are 12/3...Hoe that helps you out... DJ

Hello, Happy Customer............I have searched and searched for the answer to your question, but I can't find any information on connecting an extension cord to this product. We have it back of our TV and don't need the extensions, but just to be on the safe side.....I don't think I would do it until I got an opinion. They would probably know in your local hardward store or over at Home Depot or Lowe's. I think I'll do the same thing because it wouldn't have occurred to me and I might have caused an electrical problem! Good luck to you................

I bought the long extender cord first but it would not charge. I returned and bought the shorter version and it has worked for over a year now. ??? Not sure why. Sorry can't help more

I use this cord in conjunction w/ another 75' 12/3 cord to power 3x CFL light bulbs & 2x trickle chargers (pretty much ALL the time) and some light-medium duty power tools (when i need them) in a trailer. IF its JUST a TRICKLE charger (not a power inverter or high amp draw item) you can save your money and get a smaller 16ga cord... IF you are going to use it for more than just the trickle charger (now or later) go with the 12/3

That's not a function of this product, it's a function of the cord's wire gauge. Google it. FWIW I went with a 50' 12ga to ensure maximum voltage, and have no complaints, but 100' should work fine too.

The extension cord should be rated for outdoors SJTW and 14 gauge or higher. For lengths of 100 ft I would use 12 gauge. The extension cord will plug into a standard 15 amp, 110 volt recepticle.

Maybe I'm unsafe but I have always used an extension cord. I would not use an indoor rated one, however. Only use a heavy duty outdoor cord.

Hard to tell from the pic, but regarding the type of charger AC adaptor, 12VDC plug...it should work fine.

Check if it's "14-gauge outdoor extension cord." I just used my outdoor orange generic extension cord, works great, the only challenge with cord is make sure you don't mow the extension cord and be safe. Great electric law mower for people that hate yard work :)

I think you could safely use a heavy duty grounded extention cord with it. It has a grounded 3 prong plug. I leave mine plugged in continuously to an outside grounded outlet. I assume that it's the typical "cover your butt" safety warning that says not to use an extention cord.

Electric cord. A good extension cord will work up to as far as 100 feet if it is large gauge wire.
