planing to use a electric car jack rated at 15 amps.the jack uses a 12 volt car plug for power.am I still OK?

I wouldn't run 15a as a continual load but for jacking up a vehicle then you should be ok.

Never tried this before......but I have plugged many household devices into a 12 volt car adapter and they worked fine. I would suggest while toasting hot dogs...have the vehicle motor running.

I don't think this will work for you, unless your putting it in a car to convert the power into a source to plug machines into. You need to look for a 1600w power supply.

You really wouldn't want to use this in a car. This kneads deep enough that i dont think I could keep my concentration on the road. Also, when off it is very uncomfortable to sit on because the kneading balls are jutting into your lower back. But no, it is AC 120v stock. You would have to buy a 12v DC to 120v AC converter with a high enough wattage rating (I believe 45W) to use in a vehicle.

according to the package it's good for 115 volt @ 15 amp , so you should be fine .

You will or should have a 30 amp. You have two charging levels. 6 and 12 amps or at least I do on my 2014. Be sure and get the 18 ft. cord with it.Tom

no I dont believe it will handle the current it is rated for 15?amp max at most

At 12.0 volts (right off my power supply): High setting draws 3.5 amps, Low setting draws 2.7 amps. To test this I had to sit on it, as it has a presence switch. IE: 0 Amps, if your not sitting in it. My car Aux has 15 amp fuse, so plenty of headroom for two. Check your fuse to make sure. Good rule of thumb is to only use 75% of fuse rating.

Yes. But you want to keep in mind that the longer the cord the more voltage drop you will have. A 14 gauge cord is good for 15 amps and should work fine with up to about a 100 ft cord. If you need a longer cord you can play it safe and up the cord size to 12 gauge this will take into consideration the length of the wiring in the house to get from the panel to the outlet you are using on the outside (GFCI Proctected)

Yes easily. I have a couple of this model electric jack and they work great. One is one my commercial 6 ton dump trailer. The battery helps but you can wire it directly to your trailer cord to pickup the 12 volts from your truck battery through your cord. Highly recommend this product

I am wondering if you were overloading the circuitry. If you have a powerful radio or premium sound system, it can draw significant power, so if you were using more than the USB charger functionality, the 110v socket, you have to do the math. 150W is the rating. If the car was running, you charge at about 13.8V, and watts equal volts times amps, W=V*I so amps = watts divided by volts. Amps = 150/13.8 = 10.9 amps. If the vehicle was not running, then the amperage changes because the input voltage changes. This would be 150/12.4 = 12.1 amps. Of course this is at maximum load. If you add the all of the cigarette accessories together, you're allowed 15 amps. This leaves only 3.9 amps for your radio and any other loads that may be on the cigarette lighter, such as other phone chargers, gps, mp3 player, etc. I was able to use this inverter to run a crockpot on low through an extension cord to the back seat floor, while using a GPS and playing the radio at a moderate volume in a Ford Explorer without any fuses being blown. I suggest trying it by itself and powering only ONE device through the 110V socket that operates at a maximum of 150 watts. Devices with electric motors such as fans and compressors can draw double the current (therefore watts) when it starts up and this is called Peak power consumption. Try it with something without a motor if possible.

probably, but I don't think phone line wire was meant to transmit 12V of current. I'd replace your cord in either instance with an automotive grade 12g or 10 guage wire. It's better in the long run. You could probably pass with using it if you're into having your electronics jigger rigged. Why not do it right and run some good wire and maybe use some colored plastic conduit under the hood to make it look nice.

I plugged this into a 12V (3-cell LiPo) battery and measured current draw. It was taking 75Watts at 11.7Volts, so about 6.4Amps. In a running car the air pump will draw slightly more current, but not enough to overwhelm your charging system. If you have a smaller engine just turn off the headlights, it'll be fine.

No it doesn't matter what car you're using it on. All new cars have 12volt batteries and that's all that matters, unless yo have a real old car, like from the 50's. Those might have a6volt battery. Put it on 50 amps if you want to.jump start a car. Put it on 10 amps if you just want to charge a battery and on 3amp if you want to either charge a motorcycle battery or want to charge something up.slowly

No you can't plug this in your car. If you can go with any adapter or converter you can use the same as you required

if it's "120volt" then the most it will be is what the amperage of the receptacle says it is- which is rarely over 20 amps- this particular plug / cord combo is rated over 40 amps- so to me, for your needs, is overkill - but of the choice on a cord of over or under I would prefer over.

I'm not an electrician but I think it would matter what you're running and if the load is constant or the 15 amp load is transient - like starting a compressor. For loads where the item being powered is not voltage sensitive (lights, some motors) 100' should be OK. If voltage drop would be an issue for a compressor or voltage-sensitive device, I'd stay at 50' or go to the heavier cord.
