I have a back massager that I want to use in the car. The massager says it uses 120 volts, will I be able to use this with my massager?

If your massager draws significantly less than 150 watts of power, about 1.25 amps, then you can use this inverter. If your massager draws close to this or more, then I would recommend that you purchase a much higher wattage inverter, for reliability sake.

I would recommend checking the amp requirements of your massager. You are fine with 120 volts; but the amperage is what you need to check. How much does the massager draw in amps compared to the max rating of the power supply. If the massager draws more amps than the unit can provide. If the massager requires more amps than the unit is rated for the adapter will either alarm and shut down, or worse get very hot and could damage you auto's charger or be a fire hazard.

I found in ehow that if we are to trust the plug then the wattage is 13A times 250v or 3,250w which seems too big, so it might be that's just the PLUG capacity. Normal massager in North America consume about 115w and I used the 3 times rule of thumb when converting the wattage. For you, that would be 35w x 3 = 105w. So, I guess try this TriGear TG 200W 200 Watt Step Up Down Voltage Transformer Converter AC 110 / 220 V or 110 / 220 Volt

None that I am aware of. But it will work just fine off of my 400 watt DC/AC power inverter in the camper van, or just any plug in cigarette lighter power inverter of 100 watt or higher rating. Great for that passenger seat neck massage on the go. Or a good lumbar massage as well!!! Although it can be rather addictive. I have spent over 2 hours on it at a time, several times. (Just too enjoyable!!!)

This cord is used for 120v AC (household current) not for 12v DC that would power your car. Sorry I can't help more than that.

It is electric, you should be able to reach your upper back if you have no problems with your arms holding the massager. It gives very good sore muscle relief! I highly recommend it.

This device is only rated to 600 volts & is intended for 50-60 Hz AC. It's entirely the wrong tool for automotive trouble shooting.

I received mine with a 12 volt vehicle (car) adapter, a US 120 volt adapter built in and a 240 volt European plug adapter. I have used it successfully at 12 and 120 volts I have not had a change to try it at the 240 volt, although the directions state it will operate as such,

This inverter will power anything that runs a 120v plugin if you wire it correctly. However, if you didn't know the answer to this question. Have a PROFESSIONAL install it for you. Otherwise there is a good chance you will blow up the unit or burn your car.

Yes, you can buy a adapter to lower the voltage to the massager to 120 V from Amazon. Check with Wahl and see if they offer products compatible with India's power grid specs.

Greetings Josh. You will need some battery cables to hook this up to a car battery. Include a fuse (150 amp) and battery disconnect switch. A continuous 120 volt 10 amp draw is probably more than this can handle. Also, a car battery will go flat in short order with that much current draw. 10 amps at 120 volts = 100 amps at 12 volts. Recommend you go with a larger unit that can handle 1600-2000 watts, and a larger battery bank, unless you will be keeping the engine running. Hope that helps.

It works with 120 volt.As far as you keep the shipping box, there shouldn't be a problem as luggage claim, I think.

The specifications state 120 Volts, so I do not think so, unless you use a step-down transformer. It is a very good screw-driver, though.

no it isn't only 120V.. you will need to source one for the 220-240V. You might have to go with a 220-240vAC to a 12VDC adapter than use the car adapter, this will also probably help you with other devices you will be taking..

The DC voltage in is 12 volts, so it won't work in European automobiles that have 24 volt accessory plugs. I think the AC part is 110-240 but I do t have it in from of me now. It will be next week before I can verify that. Let me know if you want me to verify.

I know this is an old post but it may help someone. Interesting that they'd say 9-12V. It will probably work, but this is what I know about car electronics. I'm a product design and electrical engineer and I've developed lots of products that plug into car cigarette lighter sockets. The 12V power is really "noisy" meaning there are spikes and jolts and surges all over the place. It's a nominal 13.5V on most electrical systems, though the newer cars with advanced electronics may clean that up a bit. But here's the deal: The "nominal" (average) already exceeds their 9-12V spec, and when you consider the spikes and surges, I'd think you'd be risking blowing out your DVD unit to plug it in with a direct 12V cord. The 9V cord not only transforms it down to a lower input voltage, but it has a switching regulator that adapts very quickly to quell spikes and surges. The replacement adapter from Philips is $12, but hey, that already fried! It probably didn't "fry itself", but more likely was fried by the car you used it in which may have had worse surges than the average car. I would get the $20 one from Radio Shack (m/n 273-369). Take in your player to a store and they'll fix you up with the correct tip in the right configuration. I'm not insensitive to your need for economy, but you are risking frying your whole $130 DVD player for want of $10 or $20 for a good power cord. Go without those Lattes for a week and get a quality power cord.

It's 120 volts at the plug. It's light, not electricity where it contacts your skin.

Like the other's said, its 12 volts not 120 volts. You would be better off using a home EQ. If you are looking to save a little you can probably find 1 at a pawn shop.
