Can you tell me what power sources this cooler can connect to out of the box? 12 Volt DC? 120 Volt AC? Both?

Out of the box it is only 12 volt DC. You need to purchase an adapter to connect to 120 volt AC.

60Watts is the minimum that you should use if that's what your computer says. Using a 90W power supply is actually preferable as it will last longer and run cooler.

I don't quite know... You should probably ask the cooler master people via email. Personally, running this without the power adapter doesn't work for me.... But I haven't even tried. Though this is a good question I'm interested in finding out about... If I find an answer, I will post it here.

We had to buy an AC to DC adapter. We use it to pre-chill the cooler and to keep things cold when we're in a motel or visiting family. It works beautifully for us.

One of the easiest ways to get 12 V DC from 120 volts is to use a PC power supply. Desktop PCs all have a removable Power Cord and a easily removable Power Supply with a built in circuit breaker and On/Off switch. This enclosed power supply delivers both +5 Volts DC and +12 Volts DC. As a Professor in Electrical Engineering, I recommend this approach to my students who are looking for these DC voltage levels. You can salvage one of these from an old PC or buy a new one on Amazon real cheap. $60.00 or less. Good luck.

i cannot answer. but do not purchase. much like the others on here, the cooler stopped working after one year. i can't find a manual anywhere online, nor did it come with one, to see if this is something that can be fixed.

It would work with the proper adaptor. If your adaptor accepts 220V and has the same output as the cooler needs, it would work.

I'm afraid I don't understand your question. I used this as a cooling fan for a ham radio by simply connecting it to a 12VDC power source.

Needs a 12v supply. To noisey to use as a fan. Not intended for continuous use.

If you mean what voltage is the power supply which it uses, the answer is 110 -120 Volts AC.

I just bought mine and I had to purchase the ac adapter separate. I bought this ac adapter - http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Thermoelectric-Cooler-120-Volt-Adapter/dp/B0009PUQ3C/ref=pd_bxgy_sg_img_y

yes it is powered by the laptop and there are 2 usb ports on the cooler. i have had it now for a few months and love it. it has separate switches for the light and the fan. i have a 17inch screen laptop I use it with. the single large fan really helps to keep it cool.

The power supply you need takes 120VAC, 60hz. It produces 12VAC, which is what feeds the unit.

Any DC supply from 6V to 12V can be connected. At 12V, it draws about 200mA current.

Power Supply rated @ INPUT: 100-240 @ 50/60Hz, 1.4 amps; OUTPUT: 12V @ 4 amps

The PSU has 2 12v rails, and each is rated for 16 amps. Here's the whole table for anyone who needs it:+12v1 - 16a+12v2 - 16a+5v - 15a+3.3v - 12a+5vsb - 2a-12v - 0.3a

12v DC. I use it on my sailboat to run the refrigerator and have it wired directly to one battery and that batt. is dedicated to the fridge only. It has worked very well for me, I like the USB outlet and have used it several times.
