The unit has a male 110v plug directly on the face covered by a rubber safety cap. The device has no cord to reach a wall outlet, so you need an extension cord to make the connection. I believe the instructions said to charger 18 hours the first time although mine showed full charge after about 4 hours.

A computer "cord extension" is not an extension cord. It's a power cord. The description states very clearly that the device is designed to use a standard extension cord to recharge. Pick one up at a 99 cent store and be happy. Or charge from the car battery DC plug, if that's too much trouble.

I do use a short extension cord. I don't have it anymore. It's not very durable. It started coming apart.

Hi, I am having the same problem with mine. I am sure these are defective items that are being resold. I have to shut it down, power cord in, turn it back on and then manipulate the cord just so. Sometimes it takes a few tries. When if starts to charge, I leave if alone, because it will stop even if lightly tapped. The charge doesn't last very long though. Very disappointed. I should have returned it when I got it.

I use a heavy gauge extension cord that plugs right into the charging port on the side. This is the only way I found to properly recharge the Peak PKC0AQ. Supposedly there is another way to recharge this unit via the front panel CHARGE JACK (labelled) but I have had no luck locating a DC adapter that works as well.

Does not work on an extension cord. U have to plug directly into outlet. this is a safety feature. Something isn't plugged in tight.

The cord is about 6 ft long - I don't know about using it with an extension cord because the plug is one of those little black boxes like you would have with a charger.

The unit does not come.with a plug so you have to use an extension cord to charge it. The unit has a male plug.

It would be fine with an extension cord. It a low draw charger and does not perform a quick charge. Yep, you can leave it plugged in and connected to a battery for ever. It is basically a battery maintainer, where it has the ability to decrease or increase the charge based on it's constant monitoring of the battery. I leave mine plugged into my car all winter long about 7-months.

I comes with a shor cable to recharge from a normal wall socket. There is a warning not to over charge too often or too long or you could damage the battery.

Read the manul. It says the unit does not come with a power cord and to use a standard extension cord to charge it. Plug the extension cord into the AC outlet in the back of the unit.

You need a micro USB charge cord, that's all. You probably have one already. But if not, you can get one cheap from virtually anywhere very cheap (a couple of dollars).

sounds correct. I bought mine, along with a Bestek 75 Watt 12volt DC to 110-120 AC converter which plugs into the female end of the cord. I then plug my battery charger into the converter. If your extension cord does not have a male fitting but is a regular household two prong plug you will need the converter in order for the cord to work. Hope this helps.

Yes, you need an extension cord for this model. There is just a very short cord meant to attach to an extension cord. The user manual (page 4) gives specifications for the type of cord you need, and it varies, based on the length of the cord you need. I suggest waiting until you've examined these specifications before purchasing the extension cord. A correct cord for my purposes was 100 ft in length and cost ~$60 at Home Depot. In my search of corded mowers, there was one that cost significantly more that included a 100 ft cord, but I think most models I looked at required an extension cord.

If your using it to charge a vehicle that is left outside you should use an outdoor extension cord . They are made for outdoor conditions where a regular extension cord is made for indoors.
