Description says AC/DC. What voltage and amps on DC? How do you connect to DC? Want a grinder to run off my truck battery w/o an inverter.

the amperage would be to great for a converter. Ac our of Dc is a difficult issue. Buy one with a battery

I have had my Makita for a long while and like it very much. But my grinder is AC only so I can not help you on a DC model. I have several Makita tools and like them very much.

I own a couple of these and the only way to power them on location is via extension cord or a generator. Harbor Freight sales some inexpensive generators. They are not ac/dc, if they are there is nothing on their website stating what battery to use. Hope that helps.

As in you want to use this with direct current? You could use adapters for your application, remember to have some sort of breaker in line so you dont destroy anything

It can connect to either. It aslo really depends on the load that it will be supplying power to also. It the load is more than let's say 1/2 (.5) amps (multiply watts x voltage) it would be better connected directly to the battery. I've often used mine for powering a refrigerator and even a small window A/C unit (separately). Each of those draw about 5 amps so I have my inverter connected to a deep cycle marine battery (designed for this type application) with heavy duty battery gauge wire to be able to handle that high current draw. Hope this answers your question.

Off grid 12v solar w/440ah reserve this unit would typically draw 5 amps when it cycles. DC power can be finicky, The better and shorter wiring or connection to your battery - battery bank, the better this unit will run. Try to use an independent or more direct source/circuit. Avoid plugging into a source already feeding other accessories. Also, make sure the vents are clear.Edit to add; 60-65 watts according to a dc amps to watts calc.

The Product Description clearly states that it IS intended for automotive use! You DO NOT need an inverter; the unit runs on auto voltage; it has a power adapter which takes the 120 AC [house current] down to 9 to 14.4 DC. Just throw away the power adapter which comes with it and wire it directly to your vehicle (12-14 DC).

same answer as Nancy N.(5 volts,500mA,DC).Best purchase I've made-small,portable,etc.You really can't go wrong.

You're right, the listing title is reversed. It is 12v DC to 110v AC. Some buyers commented that it wouldn't fit into their power ports on cars, but it did fit fine in my Ford F150 Lariat pickup; I would think the size is universal, though it was tight and had to be pushed in hard. By the way, it works great, so far.

the people who sell these wouldn't answer my questions-they are jerks-I wanted to know the output voltage, they refused to answer my questions. I think it is a 3 phase alternator with all 3 wires hot, and maybe the case is ground. then the controller/rectifier converts to dc. the company that imports these from china just wants to collect the markup, and not warranty or provide customer support-they told me to hire a engineer and they would only talk to him.

We use ours in our RV and it is plugged into DC and AC at the same time. When we are on the road it runs off DC, but when we are camping it runs off of the AC if we are plugged into electricity. We do have a generator that we will use if we primitive camp. We have never blown a fuse with it yet. We have used it with frozen meat and now are using it for vegetables. The actual draw of amps should be obtainable from the manufacture. There are products out there that will draw less amps, but they are more expensive. When I was pricing them, they were about double the price.

AC is electrical power and DC is battery power. Now if you are running on AC and want to convert to battery power or have the unit as though it is working off of battery power that's what the switch is for. For example a laptop can run on both AC and DC power. When you plug the laptop to an electrical outlet that is AC and when it is running on just the battery power that is DC. Unlike the Angle sander the laptop has a auto AC\DC built-in switch so that is why you can run the laptop on AC\DC power simultaneously except in this case the battery charges while the laptop is running on AC power

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

I am not clear on the question. What is a fifth wheel (is this to do with a recreational vehicle or tractor head)?The 30 amp unit can easily power a coffee maker (1000 watts) and other loads up to 3000 watts at 110 volts A/C.I am taking it to mean you have a stand by generator as well as an inverter providing your A/C power.

As long as you use an adapter that meets the specs... I use the D'Addario regulated AC-DC adapter... 9V DC power supply... Tip negative and sleeve positive... 300 mA max... I can use it with another 9V pedal I use on my main rig... Even with the battery used the amp works well... it impressed me... Hope this helps...

This unit is metal. The ac input runs a DC power supply , probably not a good idea to parallel with your battery.

110 volt/ac current. It is a nice compact tumbler. Can easily handle 100 pieces of brass. I just use corncob media in it and run it 2 to 3 hours. Good Luck !

I'm not sure that I understand the question, but I will try to answer what I think is being asked. First, my inverter is directly connected to my power source on my truck. So I don't use anything that will run my truck batteries down while the truck is not running. If this Digital Inverter can be charged from a 110v wall outlet, then it will probably draw a lot of power to charge I would not charge it from my inverter unless my truck is running and I wouldn't be running anything else at the same time.. You could damage the electrical system in your truck and/or damage your inverters. Hope this helps.
