Will this have enough juice to support my "Metro ED500 air blower"? My blower is 120V and 500watts. if so, how many hours/minutes of usage can I get from this power station? Thanks in advace.

It's only 17 amp hours so I'd say for 500 watts, about 10 minutes? Probably less? If you want more substantial running time, your best bet is probably to build your own kit with a solar charger battery, where you can usually find 125 amp hours or more, and then get an inverter and charger separately. It'll cost a lot more but 125 amp hours from a 12v battery should power 500 watts for over an hour.

Hello Connie, For this application it is a little to small you will not be able to rev your generator well and you will find it slightley under powered. I would recommend a larger regulator. it works fine on my 6500 Watt but I normally do not use it at full capacity.

power's there, but you'd probably be better off just getting a 36v psu separate. A big buck/boost on this will either dirty up your power if you have other 12v devices on it, or be a loss in efficiency. I've used this with bucks to take it down to 5 to provide 12 and 5v with this. haven't gone up with it.

Unfortunately, this is not a "jump-start" device, and does not store power. It only converts 120 VAC to 12VDC. You need a 120 VAC outlet in order for it to be of any use.

They have answered your question so im just adding to it. I would assume your asking to see if an inverter will run it and my cell phone inverter runs it. Doesnt blow as hard but does blow. Also i use mine in a homemade bucket ac using a 450 amp stanley jump starter and it has lasted over 12 hours on high.

Sorry can't help you. I researched this generator for possible use for emergency backup power for my house. I found little info on the web or no assistance from the company (which was hard to locate) on particulars for this item. As a result I didn't purchase. It didn't look like a quality piece of equipment. Good luck with your unit.

6a supply should be sufficient for the blower. You'll need to remove the adapter end and connect the positive and negative wires directly to the blower.

The Blower Unit plugs into a standard 120v outlet. I ran 120v power to this controller (variable speed) KBWC-16K (H9001) Wall Mount AC Fan Motor Control, which I also got from Amazon. Then run Hot/Common/Ground to dedicated outlet for this fan (don't plug anything else into the outlet as the current is controlled by the rheostat). Works great.

I've never tried that amount of load at any one time but I can't imagine it will tolerate it for much time. 180 secs maybe ok but if it was me I would buy a more powerful inverter. Always good to check with the manufacturer though just to get their input. Good luck

Dear Demetre,I am the kind of guy who keeps useful extra items. The darn hub didn't work when it came. I read someone's comment that the power adapter was too small, so I looked in my stash of power packs [some people call them "Wall Warts!"] and found one rated 5V 1Amp. Since then, it has worked, but it's junky - the sockets do not fit smoothly. I notice that everyone else is using 3 - 5 Amps. The item they sent to me was tiny and it was much weaker than my 1 Amp unit.

Hi, I think you're a little misguided about amperage. Let me try to explain. The current that a device draws is determined by the device not the supply. You can have a 12v 500 amp supply yet the device will only draw what it is designed to or needed. In your situation your Pelitier device would draw approx 7-8 amps maybe a little more when first turned on(Surge Current) regardless of how overkill your supply is. What your concern should be is the supply have enough power to drive your device and always a little extra(headroom) & this supply does indeed have that. Also always be sure to use wiring that is heavy enough to carry the load and use circuit protection as necessary. In this case it could be anywhere between 18 - 10AWG depending on length & anything else you may be powering in conjunction with the Peltier device. Take into consideration that even though this supply has built in protection, it may not trip until high currents are reached therefore consider using inline fuse protection to the peltier. Hope this helps & feel free to ask anymore questions if needed. Also use care with these types of supplies since the 120v terminals can easily be accidently touched!

We've only used the pods... you'll need a 12v DC to 120 AC that supports 140 watts. One of the cheaper models will just pop their internal fuse.

This is a 12 volt DC fan, so you need a DC power supply. I use a computer power supply which works great and can handle the high load - 30-40 watts. This blower is intended for marine use, but I use it to boost a dryer vent line and has survived the heat and humidity for 2 years now.

Hey Edwars O. Not sure. What type/sort of system are you putting together? 6V 12V? What are you needing to run, and for how long? What are your energy needs? I can't answer your question my friend without more info. I personally use the 400 watt system with another 100 watt panel. I match my batt bank so every 100 watt of solar for 100Ah of storage. Yes, it is over kill for just myself! I'm still in the learning processes if you will. The panels that come with this kit have zero issues with charging the batteries on cloudy days. I'm very happy with this basic system so far!!

You would need a power inverter for 1500 watts or larger to power a 120 VAC, 12.5 amp item. http://www.batterystuff.com/kb/tools/ac-to-dc-amperage-conversion-run-through-an-inverter.html. http://www.donrowe.com/usage-chart-a/259.htm. This 150W inverter is only for charging laptop computers or powering a radio or fan or something small like that.

Yes Puja, I answered same question before, this item is working so simple , just converter plug and it's capacity 500 watt. If you will use 600 watt tool then its gonna break. Do u understand ?

I would not necessarily say so. Put the battery in the blower and use it. If you get 15 minutes or more of use I would say that everything is OK. I have seen this happen with my charger and everything is OK.
