DC Appliance Compatibility
The Jump Starter can power 12 VDC appliances
that draw 15 Amps (180 Watts) or less.
The lower the watts the appliance uses,
the longer the Jump Starter can power it
before needing to be recharged.
Calculate the total wattage needed to run the
appliance before operation. You do not need
to calculate startup or surge wattages.
To calculate the size of the load you plan to use
with the Jump Starter, use the following formula:
Amps x Volts = Watts
For example, if you use an appliance whose running
amps total 7 amps, you will need 84 watts of power
(7 amps x 12 volts = 84 Watts) to run the item.
This figure is within the capacity of the unit.
Note: Use this chart as a guideline only.
The actual power usage may vary based on the
model or brand of the appliance. Check the actual
wattage of your appliances and calculate the
amount of power needed to run/charge them.
