The device I want to power (digital photo frame) requires 5V 1500mA. The converters listed output is 5V 3A could this present a problem?

This is a 12V STEP DOWN converter power supply, it means it takes 12 volts and steps it down to 5 Volts, MOST digital photo frames are power from step down transformer that connect to the mains 110v AC and transform them to 5V DC, SO if you are using this to power a digital photo frame that requires 1500mA @ 5v DC FROM a 12V DC source ( EX. Car Battery) your fine, BUT DO NOT connect 110v AC to power your digital frame

Should work just fine 3A =3000 ma. So 1500 ma is just half of the output from the cube.

I use it for a picture frame, it's constantly on 24-7 and I never have a problem with voltage, appears to function normally. I have never measured the voltage to check output though.

Well i went to radio shack and got the converter and extra plugs i needed for london...they worked on all my camera/video camera/battery chargers and portable dvd player. The only thing i had trouble with was hair straightner but anyways just look up power converter in search engine even here on amazon and that will give you some idea of what you need. Just make sure you get a converter and the plugs. Plus if you live close an electronic type store they can explain things alot better. Hope this helps

If you don't have electrical devices that run on 110 AND 220 volts, then you might need a converter. My I- Phone charger and camera battery charger worked fine with only the adapter. Check to see whether your devices can run on both voltages.

I used a converter when I was in Europe to operate my USA devices. All did well except my water pic. That may be a solution.

You would be best to find a DC to DC converter for each of those devices, instead of converting the internal Goal Zero 12v to 120AC and then back to 12v for the cannon camera. It may be possible that one of the laptop plugs would run it directly, same with the TV. Any tiem you do double conversion you are going to have worse returns.

The device will work (albeit give less cooling) with 6V, but it will draw too much current (roughly 5 amps!) to be powered from a usb supply.

I might have been in error with my answer to Mr. Bruce questoon regsrding the 5V DC Regulated PS.It probably is a switching PS. It has a circuit that converts AC volts to DC and provides a stable DC voltage &current to the device.

This machine requires a 6V adapter. Sounds like the adapter you are using may be the wrong polarity (center contact POSITIVE, outer contact NEGATIVE) or the excessive voltage may have damaged some of the electronic components. Will it still work on battery power?

Mine is connected to my camera and 12 volt battery and all of the power and ac/dc cables are plugged in but it won't work.

Well, the power port on mine is fluctuating between 11 and 17 VDC. I assume it's designed for 12 VDC cameras.

I was wondering about that too. What sort of power input does this thing have? Most of these frames have 5V/1A DC input. That means the AC adapter converts 110V into that required input for the device. Does this device come with an adapter like that?

The output of the auto ranging power supply is 5 volts dc at 1.5A. If I really desired to run the picture frame from batteries, I would try it by hooking up 3 or 4 D cell batteries in series to a plug like the one that comes with the frame. The parts to do this should be available from Radio Shack. The skill to hook it up should be available at an above average Radio Shack, an old school TV repair shop, or an old school electrical engineer (possibly an independent cell phone repair store.)

Yes, I power mine with an external lithium ion battery pack which lists it's output at 9-12v, the label on the unit says 10.5VDC. I use this with my camcorder to tape youth soccer games, and keep the external battery pack in my backpack which I hang on my tripod, so I don't have the additional weight of a battery hanging on the back of the screen, which is mounted on an articulating arm. Any 9-16VDC source should work, as long as it can supply enough current too.

Natively, you can not. That doesn't mean that you can't use it with a converter, and with that, I would make no guarantees as to the quality of the electrical current that you would be using, or the impact on the device itself. I hope this helps..

I believe it puts out both 5v and 12v, but the adapter i received did not work so it was returned

Some things have "dual" voltage (most camera and phone chargers, some travel hair irons etc.) and you will find that info somewhere on the device or instructions. If you are not sure, its best to plan on using the converter.
