Can anyone recomend a 12 volt power source such as a portable Jump Starter that would work well with this?

Get a jump starter that had the cigarette lighter outlet on the side. My grill came with the plug for that power source.

Yes, a 12 volt power source will work. Also they supply a power cord to plug in a car lighter and you can install 8 D batteries. This is a fantastic BBQ. J-Guy from Qc

To be honest with you, I wouldn't buy this grill it sucks, I just thru mine in the garbage after using it 2 time, it has a weird smell to it.

Any 12 volt source, it does come with a wall wart for 120 and a cig lighter plug . Yes any "jumper' will work and draw is minimal as is the time off use. This is not a smoker or roaster like a patio propane, but a great, high temp, grilling machine.

It would be best to simply use a 12 V DC adapter as offered in our Amazon store or on HitLights.com.

It will most likely will run through a "blower" switch on the console, but yes you could just hook it right up to a 12V battery if you are using it for another purpose.

You need to buy a 12 volt DC power supply with a mini USB ending you can get it from the same company

This pump requires a cigarette lighter-type 12VDC power receptacle. We take a portable "jump starter" when camping and use it to power the inflator when blowing up the airbeds. If you are going to use it strictly in the home, I would grab an 120VAC version like the one at this link. Coleman 120V Electric Quick Pump, Colors May Vary

In order to recharge the car's battery, the Simple Start unit puts out a higher than normal voltage that could damage other products. I wouldn't risk it, even if you find a way to wire up other things. If you need a portable cigar lighter socket, try a portable starter pack or similar product that has a 12V socket.

If I had a car I'd use a higher ah battery stand alone and attach an inverter... Or a regular back up car battery with inverter if I never needed to use jumpstart feature.

What a nice girlfriend! Yes, this will need to be hooked up to a 12 volt battery. I am assuming he has a boat to put it in. If that boat has electric start or an electric trolling motor it can be hooked up to either one of the batteries used to start the motor or power the trolling motor.

I used to use a 12V converter, but it did not provide enough power. I am now using a Black & Decker jumper, it works well. So, assume 14 to 15V converter might work.

No. It's meant for charging and maintenance and only has the options of 2,4 and 8 amps. There is no mention in the manual of using this for jump starting. I don't think the wiring could deliver that amount of current. I have a 40 year old charger starter that I use for jump starting and a portable Schumaker mity-mite as well for that purpose.

Note that the output of this jump starter is 12VDC, not 120VAC. If the small appliance can be powered by 12VDC, the run time will depend upon the amount of current the small appliance draws. This jump starter shoud be able to provide 12VDC at 1-2 Amps for a couple of days.

Please forgive my ignorance Arthur. I purchased this to trickle charge my Optima Batteries. I am not sure if you can jump start, but you would need to have it plugged in. There is no battery in the unit. Very light.

Yes. As long as you are jump starting it with a battery in your car and near a power outlet to plug this in.

I would not use this to try to start a pickup truck or large car. I've used mine on motorcycle batteries (mostly to recharge not jump start) but I believe it is only a 11-13AH battery whereas most "heavy duty" jumpstarters are greater than 17-20AH strength. I've never had mine tested for CCA but I expect it is nearer to 200 than 400. It is useful for motorcycle carry-along for charging 12V (socket) and 5V (USB) items. If you are looking for a good car backup jump starter I suggest a heavy-duty power dome. The hand crank on this one too is mostly gimic and would take hours even to charge up enough for a dead cell phone if you let the main battery die. I like mine for it is lightweight and fits in my motorcycle luggage and take it on long trips "just in case" of need of an air pump or light recharge. I do not recommend it for a primary jumpstarter for a car or pickup (and yet I've bought 2 over the years).

Paul Buff "Vagabond" regular or mini works well.. U don't need a large power supply.

I have doubts on this (or similar devices) being that reliable for jump-starting any car with a fully drained battery. The battery in this is about 20% the size/weight of most car batteries, so I don't expect but that much power out of them. Most manuals for these say things like "Don't try cranking the engine over 5 seconds or the battery will be damaged". The reason for that is because it's so small a battery and you're expecting so much power from it that cranking the engine seems like creating a short circuit (which could make the battery explode if kept in that state for over a minute). Although the sales people like to put the "400 amp" labels on these to make it seem big, I doubt you can really get 100 amps for cranking an engine. I've seen a fair number of reviews on units like this saying "It didn't work for me", so feel free to look at those (sometimes the negative reviews give more info than a "Works great" one where that's all they say). Also feel free to see my review of the Peak 1 450 jump starter (and that one has a 18 amp/hour battery, this one is only 5 amp/hour). I'm not trying to make you go after a brand (several brands sell virtually the same thing like Clore, Stanley, Black & Decker and more), but realize it's limitations since it's not a full size car battery.

No... this will only maintain a battery. Need a 20A instant charger... there are ones out there. Just use a car battery and jumpters.
