if we plug in ac adaptor in Ranger will it power it? we usually hunt hogs longer than an hr~

It'll work in the cigarette lighter of the ranger to fully charge. It usually takes a bit longer to fully charge from the car though. I use that light for the same thing also, wild dogs and coyotes attacking our livestock on our property. Its bright enough to illuminate any target you wish to eliminate. I always keep mine charged just in case because you never know when that kind of incident could happen. charge it in the house and keep the car charger in the car when needed.

if its a 12 volt system it should work forever, however, I have only used the recently purchased item a few times and have already noticed that one of the LEDs has burnt out. Defect for sure and amazon is not willing to deal with it. with that being said, the light is extremely bright and would be excellent for any hunting!

I think it will be fine. I have mine plugged as needed in winter in Colorado. We dont usually get that cold though.

Hi Chris,Yes, the AC adapter cable can power up the amp but it won't give you its total performance as it would with 2A of current. I recommend using a 12V 2A power supply to get better results. Hope this helps answer your question.Thanks,Gary

For this question call tech support at HotMax.I had an interesting conversation with them about using power from a regular generator and the answer was don't use that power because of frequency fluctuations that will mess up the electronics inside the unit.

We have ours plugged in. There is a small transformer. I don't have the directions anymore so I can't say if it had any alternate power possibilities. I wonder if you might be able to contact the manufacturer to ask. BTW - we still love it.

Do not know about ground hogs but for Raccoons I would say no. I have an RWS 34 that is 100 to 150 fps faster and I consider it not powerful enough for coons, marginal on large fox squirrels. Only good for squirrels if your shot placement is very good.

The electric start on mine is powered by plugging in to 120 AC. It's a Animal, but I've been able to pull start it. Not hard to pull, I think the electric start is a good option in case it gets stubborn i.e. bad gas from long term storage. enjoy!

oK, let's suppose I wanted to run an electric baseboard heater. new ballgame,right? I did say it was a deer stand and quiet heat is good. would it drain 4 deep cells pretty fast and would the inverter have to be over 1000 watts?

thanks for your response.you are correct in "..that the only time your Garmin is able to operate normally is while unplugged from..".i can't operate the unit when it's plugged in.that's where my frustration came from.i doubt that i have a bad 12v adapter. but you might be right. let me replace the car's adapter with another one and i'll update this discussion.

No, it will not. The unit will not run while plugged it until the battery is partially charged. If the battery is worn out due to age, the power adapter is useless and you will need to purchase a new battery from Wahl. I've had my unit for 4 years and have thoroughly tested it. The battery is not covered under the warranty plan as it is considered normal wear and tear.

The first one I bought didn't work with the AC adaptor. I had to return it and get another one. That one works fine. If you don't use the adaptor, be prepared to buy a lot of batteries. They only last a few days at most. Good luck.

It will work, but the AC adapter is the big drawback, which is why I when with a hardwire siren, which draw it's power from the control panel ( there are terminal in the back for the connection).

Yes, the Pignose will work with the power adapter. I have never let the amp drain all the way down, but I assume that it would still work then with the power adapter. Great little amp! So glad that I bought it.

I use a Long Ranger that I got from Amazon. It works great. I've used it for about 3 years with no problems.

Just as a car can't go from 0-60mph in a few seconds without a huge engine, anything with an electric motor has a "surge draw" to start the motor accelerating it up to speed in a couple seconds (including fridges, pumps, etc). That surge demands 3-4 times the normal power. I've tried plugging in a small AC fridge (that measures ~18 inches in all 3 dims with only 1 amp AC draw normally or 120 watts) into an inverter. It was a 400 watt inverter with 800 watt surge rating, yet it would go into the overload alarm instantly not even starting. I'd expect any pump to need more power than that and this units inverter according to the manual says "450 watt continuous, 600 watt for under 5 minutes and 900 watts max surge". So based on my trying a similar inverter on a small motor, I'd bet under a 5% chance this would work for you. I've even been reluctant to try running a typical fridge off of a 1200 watt generator because of that surge demand. Also, if going off of just this units battery which is under 30amp/hour, if you could run something like that it's battery will be drained in 20 minutes. So this is a real short term power source for such loads and won't keep your place from flooding all night or such.

I used this with a 30 amp pigtail between the power stand and the suppressor. Then ran the main 50 amp cord to the suppressor. No problems.

I really really really want to flame you but I won't. The adapter whether it be the car plug or anything else is to power the unit and power the unit only. It will automatically turn on when it has power and when it loses power it will then prompt you that it will shut off in 10 seconds unless you tell it to rely on the battery power. So the unit itself is NOT a battery charger and will rely on the external power source first and once that external source is cut it will rely on battery power.
