Can this store up electricity? Is is rechargeable?

No. It converts DC to AC. I use it to operate a CPAP machine using a 12 volt deep cycle battery while camping.

No & No. You plug this into a 12 volt DC source (your car or a 12 volt battery) and it converts it to 120 vac to power devices you would plug into your wall outlet in your home. This converter can power the equivalent of roughly four 100 watt light bulbs.

This does not store electricity nor is it rechargable which is why I sent mine back.

This unit will not store up energy. It will only work when plugged in. But unit is great for intended use.

There's no power storage, it's a hand crank generator. You just plug an electronic device to it and start cranking to charge the device battery.

There is a small "backup" watcg type battery but it is not a rechargable one. Although I am happy with this unit, I do not recommend it if you are wanting to use it without a power cord.

That is possible if you run it 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It uses a vast amount of electricity. I use mine from Friday to Sunday every weekend and my electric bill went up $200.

I don't think it is rechargeable, however it should last quite a long time.

Be aware that this is not a generator it's a power source. This power source will run out of power if you don't recharge it.

Sure, I plug it into a 12v back up battery I charge with a solar panel. But you could use an outlet.

You can put batteries in it, yes. I haven't yet - I just use the plug, but I believe it takes normal AAA batteries. Non-rechargeable.

It has one of those button batteries...I don't think it, therefore, it is rechargeable

Not sure understood your question. I just keep it plugged in & haven't lost power to the house to keep it from charging. I don't know if it can be recharged if it has completely run out of juice.

Yes it is rechargeable, it is small and won't spill, no liquid inside. I use it to power all my electronic and lights on my fishing kayak, works great, hardly an weight, and can install it in any position.

Unfortunately, this is not a "jump-start" device, and does not store power. It only converts 120 VAC to 12VDC. You need a 120 VAC outlet in order for it to be of any use.

Hello Bill, yes it is rechargeable I normally get about 7 to 10 days of play from mine. 2 hours a few days during the week and a good 7 to 8 on the weekends.

I don't see why not, although I don't know if a rechargeable would hold its power level as long as an alkyline or lithium. After all, these units primarily just sit there for months/years, whilst rechargables are made for heavy power drain over shorter periods, like toys, electric razors, radios, then be recharged.

Yes it is rechargeable. I've had mine for 6+ months in a rechargeable flashlight & it's been fine.

Not sure, I use this at a room I rent when I travel for work and the electricity is included in my bill. Although they haven't said that it went up any. I have used it for two summers.

The manual reads yes. It is a 3 amp charger but can be stored plugged in.Cord not included.
