I want to use this device as a back-up power source rather than as a jump starter, does anyone know what sort of wattage it can put out?

I only tried a 100 watt slow cooker device and a smartphone tablet eith a dual dc socket adaptor at the same time and thats the 2212 not the 4424 which has two 22 ah batteries and have nothing bigger or I would plug it in and try it for you. But that 100 watt item did seem to deplete battery level shown on led very fast compared to when I charge my smart phones. I hate to say it but the 22 ah battery itself apart from the charger charges much longer however then that requires using clamp on DC socket and no 12 volt charger built in. It cranks pretty good watts and made my slow cooker water heat to almost 300 degrees temp in three minutes. It drains main battery power supply rather quickly.

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.

This battery pack could be used as the "source" for some "jump-start" devices that use the lighter outlet for connecting the cars together. However I'll add a few comments about using those lighter connected "jump-start" devices. First, several such devices like the Wagan Jumper item 9796 will draw more power than they deliver to "pump" the power, thus they waste some of the energy being transfered. Also they only work if you have a good battery in the car that accidentally got drained, so if the car battery won't hold enough of a charge to start the car, you'll never get going from the "trickle charge" they provide. Those also can take 15-30 minutes to give you enough charge to start, so don't be expecting to plug it in and 30 seconds later to be turning the key to start. Speaking of the key, you also need to have the key in the "accessories" position while charging the car so the lighter is connected to the battery in the car, but you're not draining power with the cars engine computer running like while in the "on" position. So with all of those issues, most don't like those lighter "jump-start" devices (look at the reviews of such), but that doesn't mean they don't work for some.

i havent used it yet.i bought it at the end of the season.if i remember its only power source is external/boat battery.i only took it out of the box to make shure it would power up and work.

I've read that you should only use a converter for up to half the rated power output, so anything up to 150 watt would be OK. So, I'd suggest you get a more powerful converter, e.g. 500 W.

"350 Watt or greater power supply with a minimum of 18 amps on the +12 volt rail." Taken from the box. Hope this helps!

Will only run a low draw item such as a computer. Even a small drill struggled to start up. It is not anywhere near the stated 1300W capacity. I would have sent back if I had not exceeded the 30 day limit on returns.

That is a really good question and I'm not sure I can give you an answer for it. I have used my device strictly to jump start my car death battery so I don't really test it real well.Sorry that I can't be of real help, hopefully you'll find someone who can give you a real answer!!!

its a 600w alternated generator... it will never reach 600wats... probably closer to 450w... though you are right there isnt any data supporting this... just do some research about ac to dc conversion...

I ran a small 400 watt inverter off of this unit to operate a laptop computer up on the dash of my motorhome while underway. Worked fine but the key of course is having it on a properly fused 12 volt circuit matched to whatever device your trying to run. This unit has a 15 amp limit. Use it improperly and I'm sure it would burn up.

The power supply lists the input at 0.2 amps at 100-240VAC. At 110V, that would be 22 watts. The output of the power supply is 250mA at 6V, which is 1.5 watts. The power supply is not warm when the device is not being used, which suggests that the input is less that 22watts when in "standby".

thats info is not anywhere. run off standard 12v line, battery, fuse box, or cigarette adapters. Power Consumption : &lt; 8 W

How small, if you feed this more power than it is rated for it will burn up. Put a cheap charge controller on a battery and run the light of of the battery. . 02

Sorry, never tried in that application. If you have the proper power adapters and connections then it should work just fine. Probably way to much power for your needs at 1 watt.

I plugged it into an outdoor outlet with a 45 watt harbor freight panel set. It says it can handle up to 250 watts, so I had room to spare. I actually plugged it into a kill-a-watt meter so I could see how much it was putting in. Seems I remember it only putting in 27 watts in full sunlight. It worked fine for about a week and then it stopped altogether. There was no user-serviceable fuse to replace. I had to insist on a full refund as they wanted to send a replacement. I would steer away from this particular one. Try to find one with at least a year's warranty on it if you can.

Hi, It basically works as a file server/Battery Backup. Head on over to Youtube and watch this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nElke81kzo and also hit up the RavePower Page: http://www.ravpower.com/ravpower-rp-wd01-filehub-3000mah-power-bank.html for more info.Hope this was a help, Cheers...

I own this unit. It has relatively modest power needs (less than 100w), but power is used for more than just the electronic ignition. There's also the electronic control system and an active venting system (i.e. a fan) that uses electricity. You could easily power this off a small generator or a battery system when in use as long as it can provide stable current. (Note: I have no idea what the warranty states about running it off a battery, so do so at your own risk.)

Seller would answer if he/she knew, but the manufacturer will not specify. My testing showed sporadic out put between 4 and 6 watts. I'd put it at 5 watts output. Good Luck.
