Where is the DC, 12 volt adapter located...I would be using unit to power 12 volt cooler and GPS while traveling.

It is on the side of the unit. Located on the piece the black cable wraps around on.

You can buy a 110 to 12VDC converter. Now you can plug it in at the motel, or a good campground with an outlet.

You need to buy a 12 volt DC power supply with a mini USB ending you can get it from the same company

I would say "yes", Sandra; 110VAC to 12VDC/5A is standard for portable coolers. Mine works great, I use it everyday! (on the convertor in my office) It actually cools better on the AC adapter than when I've used it of the 12VDC from the car. Hope this helps! :)

I do not own a DC adapter for it at all. I have been using solely battery power. Thanks

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.

There will be a power station the adapter plug which I think is a 12 volt adapter. Just go to radio shack or the source or electronics store and just get a 12 volt adapter cord

Plug ur ac adapter say dc in. I think the slide in you talking about is one of data out selection "eSata" or USB

Yes it plugs directly into the GPS unit, it takes the place of the 12 volt unit that comes standard. It's been very useful in my travels. Be safe, God bless

The unit works on 12 volt DC.From the output of the adapter that converts 120 volt AC. to 12 Volt DC.

I think it would work fine, as it is a well-insulated cooler. It would be beneficial to plug it in for a time if you can. Just to add some more cold air to help keep the ice from melting. I have the adaptor to plug it into a regular outlet as well as the car outlet to take advantage of any power source I come across, and I'm happy with that as well.

The unit has two cables. The AC cable is 110 volts and the DC is a car adapter.

12V power supplies, batteries, whatever type of device you have that'll output 12V DC. I purchased a universal power supply for mine. They're made for tinkers and prototype makers so you'll need to solder or clip on some wires to the bottom and note the + and - on there since it's DC.

Can't answer the first question because we've only run it overnight with the Koolatron Multi-Purpose Adapter 110AC to 12 Volts DC ( Model AC-15). There are molded carry handles on the sides.

I would think that for a cooler or laptop you would need a power inverter 12 volt dc to 110 ac, the auxiliary power outlet would only be putting out 12 volts, unless the cooler and or laptop run on 12 volts then yes.

Its short. Just remembering my install if you have to access power more than one foot away from the device you wish to use it on you will need to add length to the power supply end rather than the output side. I used it to power a GPS on a scooter with the need for only about 2 feet and it was too short as it was shipped. I simply added supply side wire. It then worked fine. Good luck.
