can I use this to connect a 12 Volts DC 7 Amps freshwater pump? I like this to charge the pump in a portable sink than having a motor battery

Hi Cinthya, this device is a power converter 110Volts AC to 12Volts DC. To use this it must be plugged into a household style outlet then you may plug a small item into the 12Volt cigarette lighter style receptacle. Just remember there is no power without it being plugged in. The reason I bought it is I own a small refrig cooler that plugs into car lighter. This device allows me to take the cooler into motel room at night and keep the cooler running. Hope this information helps you! Gene

I connected mine to a 12Vdc power supply that I had from a previous project. batteries should work too, but of course they would require re-charging, kind of a pain. I installed a switch to turn the pump on and off. Also, I plan to use mine for sparging a beer mash. The pump has some gears that are lubricated with some type of grease. I would recommend running some hot water through it several times, before using it for human consumption. but it seems to run well, just a little noisy. hope this helps,

probably will. Pumps are high inductive loads that pull a lot of power to start up. You might also consider a 12 volt bilge pump connected directly to the marine battery. Will require a bit of plumbing, but more energy efficient since you don't have to convert voltage. Also, you could set up the bilge pump with it's own float switch so it comes on automatically. What if you are not home when the power goes out? Who will move the plug for the 120 Volt bilge pump from the wall to the inverter?

Yes. I have this mounted on my boat dock to charge a 12 v Battery for my boat lift. Working perfectly.

Just remember that it works by sending voltage to a zone. As long as your pump has a way to respond correctly to the voltage being sent to it, it should be ok. You would need to verify that it's the same (probably DC) voltage.

There are several 12 VDC adapters you can buy. Just make sure it is rated to match or exceed the Amps needed by the pump. I returned my 12 VDC (car-only) pump and bought the wall-powered one instead; seeing that I could more easily get a DC/AC inverter, should I need it while camping, but my primary use will be indoors.

If these pumps are 12V, what do you need this PSU for? Just buy a suitable 12VDC power brick and be done with it. Adding this into the mix is unnecessary, assuming that you've described the intended application correctly.

In theory you can, but its not recommended and the NEC wouldn't approve. If you want to connect a 12 V battery to an inverter (to make it act as a power source) then look for an off-grid power inverter instead. They can come in 12V, 24V, 48V configurations.

This is not intended for that kind of amperage. This is a low amperage battery intended for powering gps/fish finders and the likes.

Yes, no problems using with a 12 Vdc system. Remember to check the packaging for the small, clear plastic hose adapter if you inlet and outlets are different sixes.

Hi msed, that motor should work just fine, the voltage in a 12 volt system varies, so if the motor voltage is rated a little higher it is better. During the charging of a battery the voltage is always higher than the nominal battery voltage of 12 volts by approximently 1.5 .

Potentially, if the voltage and amperage are correctly matched. I would suggest purchasing a wall plug w/ the correct adaptor for your unit though. I use this b/c my portable pump has a direct power cord from the unit and no adaptor.

Yes, it works from DC 3V to DC 12V. The higher voltage, the faster it pumps.

Would I be able to use this with a 280 watt panel to charge a 12 volt battery bank of 4 GC-2 6 volt batteries? Need to keep bank at 12volts to run bilge pumps: Grape Solar GS-P-280-Fab1 280-Watt Polycrystalline Solar Panel (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

Yes, i have used it with a 12 volt battery in my fish houe. Works great. I get around 6 hours of run time.

If you are asking "can I use this to power a battery charger" the answer depends on what the charger needs for power. There should be a label somewhere on the charger listing volts and amps. If the label lists 12VDC and no more than 1 Amp or 1000 ma then this power supply will work. If you are asking"will this work for my 12V battery charger" the answer is no. You need a power supply rated at 14.5V to charge a 12V lead acid battery.

Myrle - I don't see why not; The only question is how many amps the pump draws. The standard Deltek pigtail that connects to the battery and thisplug has an integral standard 10 amp fuse block, but it could be easily replaced with a 15 or 20 if you needed to.
