Does "12v DC receptacle port" charge a car battery? (do i need to bring along a battery charger as well, or is this generator a charger too?)

YES! it will but you have to watch what wire is what when you hook it up.....

Hi, yes has a built In charger, even comes with a charger cable and plug, It's kind of short so you have to bring the battery to the charger...CM

Yes and no. You realize this is just a battery -- used to store DC power. If you want to use AC appliances you will need an inverter to convert the DC to AC. There are small 12V DC appliances designed for camping and truckers, etc. but generally they don't last long and aren't as effective as their AC counterparts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

Melanie: This generator produces 120v AC. However, THIS generator ALSO has a 12VDC charging system (like for batteries, etc.) BUT, you should check with the array's manufacturer to ensure there are no "sensitive" electronics systems involved in the charging process. Never seen this question asked before, so you'd better "go-to-experts" on this one.... generatorfactoryoutlet-dot-com in California, 1-800-629-4329 can provide needed info... :)

It comes with both DC (for 12V automotive outlets) and AC cords (transformer for household charging). Everything you need is in the package. I love mine so much I bought a spare.

Yes, there is a 12volt charger. We have not used our generator yet but it came highly recommended by both of my brother on laws who have used theirs. Let me know if you have any other questions.

There is no car charger included. I just used my 12v DC to AC inverter to plug in the supplied AC charger.

Does the generator have a plug in on it? Cause if u have a 110 or 220 outlet this will work no matter what... as long as u can plug it in. And it will charge about any battery. I have charged car batteries and I charge an array of deep cycle batteries with it. 155ah and 90ah

This works as a battery maintainer, not a battery charger. If you want to charge a battery for a power inverter, you need a much larger solar panel. To put this in perspective, this provides around 2.5 watts maximum. The 12v power plug in most cars is capable of more than 100 watts. I have mine attached to a deep cycle RV battery and it will barely maintain the charge, even with the battery disconnected fro the trailer.

I am kind of confussed, does the 760 come with a car dc adapter? I am about to buy one, and I am not sure if I have to also buy an dc adapter,

This is a typical panel designed to charge a 12v battery. This means realistically that the voltage will be tied to the voltage of the battery. As the voltage in the battery increases ( due to charging ), so will the voltage produced by the panel. You need to have a charge controller between the panel and your battery, or you will damage your battery. This will disconnect the panel once your battery is fully charged. Typically, charge controllers will also limit the voltage to around 14.4 volts or so. Cars actually run at 13.8v, not 12v.

I would just buy a inexpensive battery charger one that you could on a car i assume you have a 12VDC battery or check the amphere ( current) on the current battery and buy a battery with the samw specificationa but you still need a charger

input is 12 volts dc, car battery voltage. output is 5vdc, total 3 amps, 2.1a to one port, 1a to the other.

The power supply is 100 - 240V. However the charger itself is 12V DC. So this allows the cigarette lighter port to be used from the car. The power supply converts the 100 - 240 volts to 12volts DC. The good thing here is that if the power supply is ever lost or damaged it is easy to replace it with some other 12V power supply. I should also let you know that this charger charges FAST, this speed of charge will decrease the life span of your batteries. I only use it on Emergencies when I can't wait or on d road. Generally I use another charger that charges in 2 hours.

I don't know as I haven't used my charger other than as a 'backup'. The used Honda generator I bought was a 'companion' model that allows two 2000i generators to be hooked together. That feature takes the normal 12VDC output off the circuit panel. I needed a back up power for 12VDC. It's 8amp and won't overdraw on the generator. Mine works for what it does, charges wet-cell 12VDC batteries. I haven't had any experience with AGM (glass-grid) batteries. Regards. D. in Lacey, WA

This unit is designed to recharge your trolling motor batteries from the DC alternator built on to your boat motor while your motor is running. This unit is not a shore power unit nor is it one that charges batteries from a 110 outlet.

Ours charges the battery when running the generator. If you don't run it for an hour or so every month the battery will die. You could also charge the battery with a 110v battery tender/charger occasionally.

Hi Chas,Sorry for the delay, I could not log in to Amazon for weeks.The blower works with any DC12V source capable to provided the amperage required to drive the motor.I would however not connect it to the battery directly because of the power consumption of the motor, that may drain your battery if you forget to switch it off.Therefore my recommendation is to connect the blower to a switched and fuse protected circuit that only powers up when the generator charges the battery.I hope this helps.TT2648
