How much of current will the battery output? Because I want to be sure that I don't get seriously injured if for some reason there is a short circuit.

This is a very small battery approximately (5X5)! I really don't think serious injury is going to be a problem plus you are only hooking up two wires which is a piece of cake to do!

the output is wattage and its 5 watts- while I would never say never it is highly unlikely you will overcharge a battery with it- it does not put out enough amps (260mA) to sustain high rate of charge- I keep it on my motorcycle battery thru the winter only charges when in direct sunlight and the more the better

I watched a couple Youtube video reviews where people used meters to check and it seems there is between 11 and 16 watts in over head while the battery is charging. If the unit is turned off and still plugged into the wall outlet the battery will still charge to keep it at 100% but not actually output power to it's outlets. If the battery is 100% charged then there is no draw what so ever.The only way to know for sure what is going on is for you to actually test your unit to see how much power it is consuming. From what I saw in the video's on Youtube it ranged between 0 and 19 watts, depending on the charge state of the batteries.

The battery is a backup in case of power interruption. From a practical viewpoint you need a low voltage power supply.

My battery voltage is consistently about 13.75 volts. I retrofitted a desk lamp with one of these bulbs, it's on for at least six hours/day and i've had it for about two months. Maybe just be mindful of the "very hot" warning, and don't use it in a tightly enclosed fixture for an extended time.

Usually a battery will shed excess charge as heat as it comes to capacity. I would check the voltage of the cells with your digital volt meter. If you do not have one get one immediately. It can save you from exploding batteries, a smoking crater where your home was; or injury.

I do not know, but I do not believe this battery can sustain that power output for more than a couple of seconds, if at all.

I think less than 20 amps because I plug it in to a electrical outlet and it doesn't blow a fuse :)

I can only answer for the one that I own. I can plug it in and it runs just fine, especially when battery is low. If your battery is completely dead, with no chance of ever charging again, it probably has a short and it, theoretically, will NOT work when plugged in either due to the shorted battery.I hope somewhere in what I said you find the answer that you were looking for.

I run this from the outlet, and it's been exceptionally reliant. There's a back-up battery for emergency power outage.

Regardless of what vehicle it's in or if it's running packs in parallel or series I've always stopped at 3.6v/cell when the pack is at rest. You could possibly go lower and still be safe, however I noticed that my packs lasted a lot longer stopping at 3.6v/cell. Also I found these alarms to be rather quiet. Just a heads up. Enjoy &#128522;

i guess if you want to be absolutley safe about it, you could install a circuit breaker. i run my direct off the battery, works fine.

In theory, 11.8 amps. I wouldn't use it for anything much over 8 or 9 amps - that gives you almost a 1000 watts of power. Remember, 1000 watts means you will be drawing over 80 amps from your battery!

My best calculation says about one hour on a fully charged 160 AH battery. That would reduce the battery to half charge, and you don't want to go lower.

How many watts of electricity do you require to run whatever it is you want to plug in? My grand kids used mine while on a camping trip recently and plugged in a boom box then their lap tops to play games. The vehicle's battery went dead in just over 6 hours. Lucky for them gramps packed a self contained emergency battery jumper to get the vehicle started up and back home. If they would've started the vehicle every hour for about 10 minutes, I think they would've been okay.

I haven't noticed it shorted my battery life. I don't know how many milliwats. I am satisfied with the product. It operates a little slower, but not too much.

No, it will cause the unit to short out, you will need to use a voltage converter
