I want to use this on a boat. Does it need ac power? will it work on a Samsung s6 phone ?

It needs AC power. I don't know if it'll work with a Samsung s6 phone. I use a Motorola phone.

Not sure if it works with your specific phone, works with my LG G3, but it does need A.c. power.

IT doesn't need A.C power. It takes power from the USB of the Tv. I guess that it will work with a S6 but I am not sure.

It works with Samsung 6. Required power. Usually LCD TV set has standard USB slot, just plug power cable to it.

Yep, it needs power. However, it can take power through USB as well as AC. Most TV's and HDMI devices it would plug into have USB ports already, and it includes a short USB cable. All of them I have in place now (4) use the USB supplied power.

No, it does not work from AC. It connects to the boat alternator and charges the batteries as you run. Mine works well enough that I have not had to take the batteries out or charge with AC since I got it.

Maybe! I had to buy a transformer for home use. Not sure with DC of a boat battery. Good Luck.

I have two of the mentioned chargers. I can't answer your question since I keep my chargers plugged in to 110V when boat is not being used. I have owned for a couple of years and am very satisfied with product? These are solid state chargers and should not drain batteries unless there is a problem with chargers or possibly wiring connections.

I have one on my boat, and it has worked well. The unit itself doesn't seem to get too hot -- an important concern when leaving it on and unattended for a week at a time. Just wondering what kind of tent has an AC outlet!

I use two 6 volt trojan T105 in series for the house bank of my sail boat. I have minimal power requirements apart from powering my refrigeration system. The 200 W kit from Renogy seems to do the job quite well keeping the battery bank charged.

I'd like to use this inside my sailboat cabin. Seems I should be able to put a 12v adapter onto its plug in order to use with my marine battery. Does anybody know if this sounds feasible?

I use it for portable. It uses 5.6 KW so it does use a lot of power in real cold weather.

Yes. My boat has an automatic on-board charger. Any 12volt automatic charger will work.

No, it requires power from the boat's battery. It is a very easy job to wire it in, and judging by the size of the wire, it draws very little power. It is also a long wire to run where you need it.

No it just plugs in. It is a snug fit. I use it for my boat. It should work for you.

Yes this will work. You will need a solar panel that will recharge the battery draw (you can calculate this from the watt output of different panels) and a battery large enough to provide the current draw without getting below 10.5 before it gets recharged by the panel. You also would want a marine style deep cycle or at least a start/deep cycle combo battery. Remember that solar panels and batteries are not 100% efficient so calculate the load accordingly. All that said I do just this on my boat along with running additional DC loads and don't need to run my aux engine to recharge the hose bank while at anchor. Yes this will work.

I think that this phone plugs into a regular phone jack. It should work without AC electric power.

Hi, I'm sure you can but, it has to be plugged into a 120Volt supply when charging the batteries. When the boat is on a trailer parked somewhere it would work great.

Good questions - had to test it to answer. It is charging my Galaxy S4 phone, both with and without AC power to the hub, and it printed fine to my laser printer with no AC power.

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.

It should work, it connects to the radio antenna input and needs 12v power. I installed in my boat that did not have an aux input.
