does this need a higher power source than a standard ac home outlet

No it doesn't. Just try to not overload a circuit with a lot of important items plugged into it. Like a desktop

It has a standard plug.. I normally use it with my house hold outlets and that's not power source that it plugs into.. Hopefully it helps.

Not sure. We have it plugged into a standard wall outlet. Not sure what that is, volt wise.

No, this unit's output power is strictly 12 volt DC, not AC. If you're looking to power an AC or small household device using a 12 volt DC battery look-up or Google "12 volt DC to 120 volt AC power converter ". They are common and often used in vehicles via the cigarette lighter socket to power small household AC devices that plug into 120 volt AC outlets used in homes across America. The secret to using 12-volt DC to 120 volt AC power converters is to know what wattage rating they have verses the wattage used by the household device. You can't plug a hair dryer into a DC to AC power converter outlet that's rated at 500 or 750 watts contiuous because most hair dryers use 1500 watts! In other words you have to know your power converter wattage rating AND the wattage your household device uses.

Yes, the unit requires a 110 outlet for the CPU board. The draw is minute about one - two amps.

The previous answer should say 120vac is all that's required....the normal outlets in most homes is 120vac.

no it does not, it is a Direct Current power source, and would not work properly with any standartd USB or in house items

If the device has a cable with a USB tip, the AbsolutePower will provide power and charge from an A/C outlet. It's not a backup battery source, though.

I am not sure about that but I just have it plugged into a regular outlet in my basement. Buy it you will LOVE it. I tell all my friends to get one.

it requires a DC power source. If you want to use AC power you will have to convert it to DC.

This outlet does not have a fuse of any kind, so it will provide as much current as the cord from your battery allows. Please note that this is not a USB connection.

Yes. It uses standard household current. I use an outdoor extension cord since my grill is a ways from an outlet.

The plug is for 110 v normal house wall outlet, so no without a dc-&gt;ac adapter.
