What kind of outlet adapter do I need to purchase and how many hours does it run since it doesn't seem to shut itself off?

It plugs into the cigarette lighter in my car. I am not sure how long it will run when not plugged in. I haven't tried it. I seem to remember it said maybe 3 hours. I could be wrong.

It comes with two adapters, one to plug into the wall and another if you wish to use it in the car. Depending on how much it puts out (mine has slowed down) I've gotten anywhere from 4 1/2 to 8+ hours (the longer time is with an inconsistent stream though). Once it's out of water it shuts off.

Any USB to wall adapter works or you can just plug it into your computer USB. It works about 4 hours on a full fill.

Mine came with a plug that plugs into a a usb port and another into a regular wall plug. It actually runs for a surprisingly long time for such a small unit, 5+ hours or more. Have also used it to humidity plants.

Hi, deeply sorry for replying late. Mine came with a 5 Volt...1000mA (- o +)I don't understand why yours is missing the power adapter, but it shouldn't be expensive. You might find it in amazon or ebay for a cheap price.I hope you find the correct one, you don't want to burn your converter

If you can take the battery out and run your laptop on just the power adapter - the battery is dead. My battery only lasted 5-6 months. Initially I got 3 hours on a charge - no more.

I don't know if it automatically shuts off and how long it says on, I bought it for my mother inlaw. Wattage is 220 V

remember that this is an adaptaer that charges the battery not the device, if you unplugged and it shuts down, you have to replace your battery!!!

I haven't tried to run it for long periods, yet. But, it's supposed to shut off when it gets hot. Then, after cooling, start working again. I have learded, for some reason, plug it in about ten minutes before you start. When I don't, it doesn't work right. I guess, the micro computer needs time to wake up.

I have run mine as long a 4 hrs and it has never shut down. Send it back and get another one.

Hi Christian,Thank you for your inquiry!Due to the fact that this unit only has a 60 Amp Hour Battery, most large devices cannot be plugged into it continuously. Is there a specific item that you wanted to power on a continuous basis?Best regards,Earthtech Products

Here are the specs on the label of the adapter that is used to charge the light: Class 2 Power Supply, Model HT72005, Input 120 VAC 60Hz 9W, Output 12VDC 500mA. I wish I knew what all of that means, but I don't, and I hope it helps! If it were me, I'd take all of that alphabet soup down to Radio Shack and let somebody there find a replacement part. I found a few adapters online that come close, and they all cost $7 or less, but you wouldn't want "close" to risk burning out the spotlight.

The clock is powered by 120V and also has battery backup in case of a power outage. I actually use it inside of a coke machine to turn the exterior lights on and off so I'm not paying for the lights to be on all day. It should work fine for your outlet as it handles 120V in and out. Just Ohm out the wire that goes to your outlet and hook it to the power out wire on the timer. I haven't had an issue with it yet, but I had a friend that got a couple of duds before he finally got a good one. Worth the money though!

I use a multi voltage adapter from Wal-Mart. It works great. Just have to make sure to correctly set the voltage and plug the correct adapter onto the connecting lead. The adapter sells for around $14.00 and can be bought with or without a USB socket.

The power supply has a wall plug with an in line converter and a small round connector like most laptops. i would expect you can get a 240v converter that will step down the unit. I will try to remember to follow up with the exact power info Later.

I believe a 15 amp outlet is recommended. I think it is actually around 12 though.

I haven't had any troubles with it yet. I've kept it on overnight and for 24 hours at a time a few times. The adapter doesn't seem to get very hot. Its just powering an electromagnet so its probably not enough energy to cause much of a problem. I've had this for about 2 months now and it seems to still work fine.

Hooks up to a 12 volt battery. You'll need a pretty good size battery bank if you want to run a toaster. 200 Amp-hour or so. Then you plug in your AC appliances, and turn them on. Mine blew the internal fuses when I tried using a vacuum, guess it was just a bit too much. Bit of a task replacing them, so will probably add fuse holders when I do it. Otherwise it's a pretty good unit. You'll also need some pretty large cables from the battery to your unit. Along with a 150 amp fuse. Good luck!

I need it to run the computer while I use it. the internal battery goes dead quickly (less than 1 hr) while using unplugged. Need it to power computer in use for 3 hrs using multiple applications.

Hi BigE, no you don't need either. I've been using batteries and haven't had to replace them yet (4 months). I didn't want the power adapter myself because I didn't want another cord to trip over. :-)
