Q:Does it come with a power cord?
by|Oct 8, 2022
5 Answers
Answer This Question

A:  Does not require any power cords, you charge your 40V Battery in the normal charger you have. This just converts the DC battery back to AC, and you plug in other AC devices to this with their cords.

        A:  No power cord is needed. You place your 40 volt battery into the charging slot and use it to power other devices such as cell phones, laptops, etc.

          A:  No cord. It is battery powered, but there is no battery in this box either. It is tool only.

            Q:Will this run a curling iron or anything with a heating element in it

            Answer This Question

            A:  No. Check your iron I'm sure it's well above 300 watts like a hairdryer is 1200 to 1500 watts.

            by|Sep 26, 2022

              A:  It is rated at 300 Watts. From what I just read, curling irons are around 300 Watts so it may be close. It will not handle a hair dryer, a space heater or anything like that.

              by|Dec 19, 2022

                A:  Hello, Booda - Thank you for your question. If the item you would like to run does not pull more than 300 watts then, yes. I hope this helps!

                          A:  I have Taken it camping on a few trips.  It powered a 19” flat screen  .  Depending on the battery capacity you might get 2-4 hours  on each battery.     One thing that isn’t mentioned is this will NOT charge batteries. You’ll still need a battery charger on top of this.

                            A:  It depends on how many Ah your battery is, along with the size of your tv. I used a 4 Ah battery, and had a 32 inch tv plugged in along with a google chromecast. The 4 Ah battery lasted about 2.5 hours before I had to switch to a fresh one.

                                A:  No that requires a lot more energy than this can provide! I suggest a 1500amp battery backup.  They work well in a pinch.  This will not! Hope this helps

                                                          A:  No. You will need something that will provide 1,200 watts continuous as well as enough peak power for startup. Possibly a 2,000-watt inverter connected directly to a battery.
