is it suitable to use in a car? it says 12V but also 220V, so i'm confused. how much current does it draw? thx

I am not an electrician but YES it for use in 12v systems as in a car. It is a timer relay that is in a low amp circuit to switch on and off the voltage to what ever needs the power. I am using mine to switch off and on a 12v low amp very small fan to keep air flowing over a PMD(Fuel supply Driver) in a diesel truck that is subject to over heating when engine is shut off. Check the amount of amperage that what ever circuit you are hooking it up to to see if it exceeds 5 amps. There are no instructions with it but I found out how to wire it by doing a google search. That took some time and head scratching.

You'll need a power invertor to go from the 12VDC a car has to 120VAC the device needs. But basically the answer is no.

It can be used at voltage from 110 to 240. It says so on the back. As it only has flat pins, you have to use adapters to fit in Asian or European sockets. That is all. Plus, with the car adapter, you can even charge in the car. Hope it helps.

It is not meant for automotive use. However, you could get a power inverter to change your 12vdc car circuit to 120vac.

If the battery is rechargeable you are fine. If not it should last for a use or two depending how much use, and then you will have to buy a new one. I use a car battery charger that can be set at 12 volts with 5 A and I don't worry about the battery usage...I use a long cord extension.

This part was made for a car it only works in a car. I would not use it for anything but 12 volts. There is no schematic to tell you where the wires go. It was I think used for the heater speeds for the motor in a car. If you can figure it out it supposed to be four speeds. I could not get it to work so it sits in by junk pile of old parts.

You cannot, it is made for use on a 12v system, such as that that a car runs on. If you really wanted to, you could use a 12v converter and try that, but i doubt it would work well.

I think this heater pulls a lot of current. I have not tried the in my car power supply, but sometimes other devices will not work in my car.

Nope, it is a converter from your automotive 12V to 120V only... can not be charged and used afterwards. This unit is for use when you are actually driving with engine running...I hope this helps?Ruben G.

no just 120v adapter.... You would have to go to radioshack for that. This is a bit big for car use. I would not use it for that...

Almost anything can be wired into a car. This is a home unit design. the power source is 110Volt standard to 9volt 750ma output.I'd look for a car 12volt unit designed for a car

It is a dual charger. It can use 110 ac or a usb connection. It is not a car charger unless you have a 12 volt dc adapter with a usb plug in or you can charge it through your usb connection in your computer.

It is a 110v. light so if planning on using in a car would need an inverter.

I use it on a chevy volt, draws 1300 watts on 110 volts and 3300 watts on 220 volts.. works well for my volt,2012 chevy volts max out at 3.3 so it may work differently on cars that allow higher charge rates

Its designed to be used in vans and RVs. it plugs into the car's power supply. But it can be used inside the house with an adapter like Koolatron Multi-Purpose Adapter 110AC to 12 Volts DC ( Model AC-16).

It is for a 12v DC system. Min voltage of you are lucky is 10.5 range is 12-15 volts automotive. Use a step up transformer or a 12 v switching transformer if you want to use it with ac household current.

Yes, the unit can be plugged in to a standard 110 volt AC outlet or use the 12 volt accessory outlet in your car. Works quicker in a house outlet, but handy to use car voltage if you're on the road. Noisy- but the only decent inexpensiveone I've seen that can use either voltages.
