how much power does it use?

Hi Nancy - I actually don't really know. It is hard to say given that the entire house is electric. It is a very nice little TV and I have it mounted on the wall. I don't use it every day, and mostly just watch movies on it. Sorry I can't answer your question specifically.

Plugs into a standard outlet, but no energy star sticker. I haven't noticed an increase in the power bill.

I don't know exactly, but would guess more like 50 watts as it can drain two heavy duty batteries is about 24 hours using 12 volt hook up.

not a lot, I have one running 24/7. I have it on a pretty basic power strip. No issues so far, and my entire fish tank (air pumps, lights and filters) use very little energy.

I'm not sure what it uses by just being plugged in. It's max capacity is supposed to be 2400 watts. I have a computer plugged into it that is always running as well as a few other things in my recording studio that always use a little power. I don't think it uses much on it's own. I have 4 of them in different locations and I haven't seen any increase in my electrical bill using them.

Very little. Not sure how much exactly in wattage, but it uses less than a night-light.

Actually there isn't a real power output, it is only a TV signal. I put a wattmeter that shows the input power is uses, and got a reading of .5 watts using the 120 volt power supply that comes with it. I have no way of checking what it would consume using the USB plug alone.

I am not sure what you are trying to determine. I don't have the test equipment to measure the small amount of power that this consumes. I did plug it into my Kill-A-Watt power monitor. The power consumed after 90 minutes still registered as zero. The instantaneous current and power were also zero. The device reads out to 2 decimal places so the power and current must me less than .00 amps and .00 watts. It is a very low power consuming device, exactly how low I am not sure. It is obviously not zero, just very low.

It doesn't draw power. It has an internal battery which is charged with a USB cable and supposedly lasts 6 hours between charges. Haven't had mine long and haven't used it enough to know if it really lasts a full 6 hours.

Interesting question. Not sure what you mean by power. It runs off of 120 volts but the power is all the wonderful things it does.

in reality it draws about 30 watts dc or about 2 1/2 amps dc i turn it off when not using it.....

Battery - guess it depends on how much you use it. Sorry I can't be more specific

Hi, can you re write this question or be more specific?? Are you asking for power consumption?

I think the question was... will this unit use 44 watts of power no matter the load? ie... will this unit still consume 44 wats if you only have a 5 watt load...My best guess is it will only use what it delivers to the load plus some wasted power in the 120 to 12 volt conversion process as there are no 100% efficient methods of conversion.

Not sure on that question. But it has a lot of power. Never shuts down on me. Im running 2 jl 13.5 in subs and im killing them. Its worth it

.25 watts per hour according to my engineer husband, very low power, capable of running off a cell phone charger. But can really make the sound project!

Power consumption is heavy duty. You will need a outlet real close and use a 2000mw power supply and keep several in reserve !

Though it's hard to answer without specific numbers, probably hours. It will power my pic and monitor for 20 minutes, you should be able to get 3-10 times that.
