Instead of plugging directly into a wall outlet is there a problem using an extension cord?

I have mine plugged into a surge protector. Just my two cents. But I cannot see a reason why plugging this device into an extension cord would create any issues (other than ensuring polarity). Hope this helps...

No problem. I'm not sure, but I seem to remember it may require a 3 prong extension cord.

i have been using a 25 ft. cord to plug it into and maintain my triumph and it has worked very well the past 6 months i have had it. one light comes on when charging then the other one comes on when it is maintaining. i am very happy with this item, if you try i think you will like also.

No problem whatsoever. Just make sure you have the leads connected to your battery before plugging the unit in. If you plug the unit in first and the leads accidentally touch together you will most likely destroy the charger. That's from personal experience.

I've been running mine off a 12 ga. extension cord since day one, no problems.

Yes and no. You need to unplug it from the outlet in order to pull more cord out. You can route the cord into the hollow portion and plug it into the wall. If you need more cord you'll need to unplug it then pull what you need and then plug it back in. It's always worked well for me.

It seems to work better when plugged directly into a wall outlet in my opinion

Can they be plugged into a dedicated extension cord that is not a power strip or surge protector?

I don't know. I plugged mine into the wall and it works great. I took up more than the single space in the outlet so I ran an extension cord to the other space in the outlet.

We just plugged ours in, no problem. Getting it attached to the wall was the only work required.

No. The wall plug is not flat. My outlet is low on the wall and I use a cover for the cord, so it is not a problem in my case.

Be sure that the cord doesn't rest between the wall and the heater as it may get too hot (if using that plug for heater). The only other possible concern may be heat on the wiring within the wall or on the outlet itself, but I see no real hazard based on my experience with the heaters.

Yes, you can directly plug to the wall, but in several country you need an adapter.

Yes. That were the case and problem I encountered. Either you have to hire an electrician to install the unit directly or to purchase a 240 V cord (from $20 to $40) and connect to outlet. There is a catch though. According to two techs from the company I spoke of the issue, if you install a cord by yourself, the warranty would be negated. That was the reason I returned the unit.

Not sure but since if an extension cord can be used but the product has a surge protector feature so it could well be ok. Remember that the average wall outlet is for a load max. of 15 amps and the extension cord drain should be of a concern.

We've had one of ours for over a year and have always used an extension cord for it--running it under the porch and plugging it into an outside outlet. We've had no issues at all!

It has less wattage than a light bulb and should be no problem with an adequate grounded extension cord.

Of course, but your extension cord must support three prong plugs. However, this device is best utilized by plugging directly into a wall outlet due to its design (that is my opinion not a necessity)

I don't. It's not like those less expensive round units. You don't want to run this on an extension cord unless the cord has large gauge wire. You will get better results if you can plug it in directly to an outlet.

Dear Customer,You can plug the cord directly to the outlet. The hair dryer however clicks and locks in to place on to the wall base. If you do not mount the base it will be difficult to remove and place back the hair dryer onto the base.Sincerely,EWO
