How flexible are Marinco 30m Amp Power Cords in very cold weather. Like Zero F.or colder?

I would think that it will be about the same as any extension cord under the same conditions.

Hi Alan,I don't know. We never have cold weather here. It works fine in our shop, which seldom gets below 60 degrees.

I have no idea. We hit wind chills of -30 here a few weeks ago and they are still working fine!

I've used this for 2 years now in Denver on the same set of batteries. We certainly don't have the same level of cold that Alaska does, but we have our share of cold days, and I've never had a problem with this even on sub-zero days.

Good question! The coldest I have ever used it was maybe, 29°C. I realized it had been awhile since charging, so I plugged it in and it took about 1.5 hours for a complete charge. This is a nice little unit for the battery which Autozone and AAA test and want to replace, and then you re-charge it and it's fine for another 3 years. It is NOT a service station-rated unit. It will re-charge a dead (no spark) battery with a deep cycle in about 3-4 hours.

The information for this thermostat states "50 degrees" But I would unplug the cord if the temperatures were going to stay above 40.....just to save on the electric bill!

I would like to use these to experiment generating electricity. What temperatures do they handle? Thank you

It works very good in cold or warm weather, and 32 degrees below it still works well. Just like any other electronics don't get it wet.

I live in Vermont... It's cold here... last winter we were frequently in the -15°F range... These operate on watch batteries - 2nd winter running and I haven't changed them yet. My only suggestion is be careful mounting them with screws, if it's cold and you over-tighten the screw you crack the mounting plate.

No idea. However, similar electronic devices I specify are rated to zero degrees C. It's inexpensive, simple, and I wouldn't hesitate to use it at low temps.

I use a regular 13amp low temp for flexibility 100' extension cord although a 15amp rated cord would be a better choice.

So far I have only had it plugged into the AC to 12v adapter in the house and it maintains a temperature that fluctuates between about -3 and -8 deg F easily. I would expect it would do as well plugged into a lighter receptacle in 80 degree temperatures. It might not get all the way to the -8 max cold in 90 degree temps in the direct sun but it would probably be able to maintain 0 at least. I will eventually be using mine in a motor home full time and I'm sure it will keep my pizzas frozen rock solid. :0)

The power cord is about 8 foot long and the wattage is 600 watts for the size I purchased. I do not run them continuously, I put them on a heavy duty timer and set for 9am to 11am, then again at 4pm-6pm. Just remember the cables will melt the ice and stay warm for an hour after powered off. I do not run the power after 6pm, as the temps are dropping and refreeze may happen. I hope this helps you and you are ice dam free this winter.

If you are just testing the blower just use a small extnsion cord to run blower.If you are going to try to use blower to move snow you should use heavy duty extension cord longest you have. Problem is cord will not be very flexible depending on how cold it is where you live. Try to follow up on where your cord is. Cord is very good in cold weather.

This is why I bought it and used it last winter. It work fine for me. Before this I was using three 25 foot cords that I had for general use. They were always unplugging It is heavy as there is a lot of copper in it.

The main thing is to get a high-quality cord so it will stay flexible in the cold. I have a very stiff cord that's orange and black that is difficult in the snow, or an orange one that is quite soft/flexible, which makes a HUGE difference. Spring for a really good cord and you'll find it easy to flip out of the way, instead of having it constantly wrestling with you.

I live in az... So cold weather for us is 35f.... It does state in the manual not to operate below about 30ishF (I remember reading it).... As far as tripping breakers: it works fine on a 15A 110v circuit witha stereo plugged in as well.... So maybe it pulls 10A peak when it starts at most... Hope this helps...
