can you run it off a 12 volt truck battery

As long as the connection clips can make good contact. Sometimes sidepost batteries are hard to get good connections to. The battery is certainly capable of operating it for quite a few holes if it is in good shape.

If I understand your question, Yes, you can connect an external battery to run the pump. I hooked up a 12 volt remote control to turn the pump on and off. However, you don't need the remote and can power directly from the battery.

I never heard of buying a battery to use this thing.we simply plug it in to a cigarette lighter outlet in the Airstream and it runs off the trailer battery and the two batteries in the Dodge.

I'm not sure what you're asking. If you mean "can this be powered from the 12 volt power supplied by an automobile battery?" ... my answer is "maybe." I run mine with the power transformer used for 12 volt landscape lighting ("Malibu Lights"). I BELIEVE that these lights are originally meant to be used on campers and motor-homes, for exterior lighting when parked. That would mean being powered by the vehicle battery.

No! It plugs into a 12volt outlet and uses the battery that starts your engine.

You can do this but it will take a long time to fully charge. With only one generator, you will get about 0.1 amp into your 12V battery.

Require power source of 12v DC. Could run on a 12v rechargeable battery pack not sure how long depends on battery pack.

I have no idea, Just keep your auto running and I'm sure you wont run down your battery in your truck. My camper battery is a deep cycle. This is what I use.

You can pull 12volts power from the load terminal as long as the rated current is smaller than 5Amp as the charge controller can handle.

No the vehicle does not need to be running. This unit can be wired to a charged 12V battery. The battery wired to the unit provides the power.

this is a 12 volt DC fan. it will run as long as it has electricity from your cigarette lighter or another 12 volt source. The vehicle motor does not need to be running

Yes easily. I have a couple of this model electric jack and they work great. One is one my commercial 6 ton dump trailer. The battery helps but you can wire it directly to your trailer cord to pickup the 12 volts from your truck battery through your cord. Highly recommend this product

In theory you can, but its not recommended and the NEC wouldn't approve. If you want to connect a 12 V battery to an inverter (to make it act as a power source) then look for an off-grid power inverter instead. They can come in 12V, 24V, 48V configurations.

I havent tried it myself, but I would to say-Yes it can be powered by a 12v car battery.

Yes. You can use the 12 or the 20 volt battery. The 20 volt works best and will last longer.

Yes, you can probably run an inverter connected to a lighter outlet to run a TV or other small things needing under ~120 watts. The battery likely has a rating like "15 amp-hour" hinting it'll give you 1 amp (at 12V) for 15 hours, or 2 amps for 7.5 hours etc and something needing 1 amp at 120V will pull 10 amps at 12V from the battery.

Not unless you want to. It runs off the car battery as supplied through the cigarette lighter (accessory power outlet). Depending on he vehicle, you may have to have the ignition key turned to the on position to have access to battery power, but you don't necessarily have to have the engine running. I would only run the engine if your battery power is low or if you're going to spend forever inflating multiple items.
