What is the dc volts coming out of inverter? My 12v would not power it.

Hi, The lamp is for 90 to 240 volts AC not 12 VDC! Will only work at those voltages.

The answer from Thomas D. is right on and the only comment I would add, is make sure you have you on off switch in between you 12 volt supple hook up.

if you plug it into the cig lighter/power receptacle (which is 12 volts), and nothings plugged into the the inverter, it seems like the inverter is bad.

Hi Karen, I think your question is back to front......but I may be wrong. The batteries should be rigged up to supply the inverter with + 12 V Direct Current for the inverter to supply nominal 120 V Alternative Current......The inverter will take power from the batteries and if the batteries themselves are not supplied with power [from solar panels, an alternator or charger] the inverter will eventually take the batteries down to about 10.5 V DC whilst still delivering the nominal 120 V AC. Which is not good for the batteries. I hope this helps.......best wishes....Jack.

That all depends on the 12V power source, the inverter will run as long as you have power going into it

I have only used the twelve volt system in my vehicle. Since I posted issues with my inverter, I took a two day trip. The inverter worked great the whole time. I have complete confidence in it now.

Check the polarity of the connections, also check the load,too much will blow the fuse. It's to protect the inverter.If all else fails call the manufacturer.

Don't really know, but off hand I would say you will fry your inverter. The inverter is for 12V input and a 12V PV panel VOC will run about 18 volts. I have seen this type of inverter in a 24V model which may work. You might be able to find a DC to DC voltage converter to half your PV panel output voltage and double the amperage and that would probably work on this inverter also.

I have mine plugged into a 12v battery and like G-man said a power inverter. I have only tested it for 15min but it works. I haven't tested it for longer yet.

Do not hook up to 24 volts, it's For 12v to 13.5 dc volt . You can find good one inverter 24 volt @ http://www.theinverterstore.com/2500-watt-power-inverter-24-volt.html

the inverter will work but you did not say what wattage it is. Are you making the 2 batteries into 12 volts? You will need a charge controller too.

2x 110 volt plugs on the front of the inverter, just plug in a power strip and the inverter is ready to supply power from batteries (I have 2 x105 amp hrs hooked in parallel for a 210 amp hour 12 volt bank). Green lights on the front of the inverter tell you the batteries are fully charged). Highly recommended equitment

If you didn't use an inverter, you can't fix it. You've fried the electrical components with too much voltage.

Offhand, I would say the cables from the batteries were too long and or too thin. So the voltage dropped too low at the inverter and caused it to think the batteries were low and shut down.

Not 12 volts of course if you had a 15 amp inverter it would work, a 15 amp inverter would cost more than a 12 volt hot plate

I only wish I knew.It just runs on a regular current....I do not know what an inverter is. I sure do like mine under my desk.

Your inputting 12 volts d.c. from the car batteries electrical system, which the inverter conerts to 110v volts a.c. This is an excellent unit. I can use a hammer drill, circular saw, shop vac from from my service vehicle. Make sure to order an inline 200 amp fuse and fuse holder, along with 6 gauge wires. I also highly recommend getting the remote control to make it easier to turn on/off.
