How many amps does it pull? (That would mean at the start).
1349522
i would estimate about 10-12 amps when it is lifting your vehicle and at startup.

I would suggest a good battery , I can't say how many amp as I didn't use an amp prob .It is slow but it lifted the driver front on a 1970 Ford Ranchero as a test.

12.5 running amps but you have startup of 3000 or 25amps for a short period.

I tested mine with an amp meter and it was approximately .5 amp or slightly less.

They require a minimum on 10amps for starting. In general it runs at a max of 8 amps.

The unit only pulls 100 amps when you in essence create a short circuit across the battery terminals through a big power resistor. You should not hold the short for more than 10 seconds. If the needle stays in the green during that period you have a good Automotive battery which is often called upon during an engine start to pull 300 to 450 amps. I have found it to show useful information on several types of 12v batteries, but I am not sure that it was designed for a deep cycle battery. It did find deep cycle batteries that dropped into the yellow from the green, and they were older batteries. I would try to contact the manufacturer for more engineering data. Hope this helps.

I have not used it in a while. As I recall, 2 amps to get it started 5 amps to make it run nice

It limits. I have a device that pulls to much and it just stays warm, while only drawing max of 6 watts from the wall. I calculated this at 1.17 amp, which is as advertised. Used it a couple days at max (waiting for the 3 amp unit to arrive) and it didn't crap out.

Volts x Amps= watts so watts divided by voltage = amps. 80/12=6.66 amps. It certainly draws quite a bit more during startup.

Never measured it, but since it puts out a lot of heat, I expect you better have it on a 20 amp circuit or a strong 15 amp. The largest pull will be when it starts since the motors high pull at startup adds to the heating element. The reason I bought the new one was that our groomer's old one kept blowing breakers when it was kicked on. The new one doesn't, but I also added an outdoor circuit for her use that was 20 amp. One other thing: My house is fairly new and wired badly as most new houses are now, and in addition has GFI's on all outdoor circuits. The GFI's are so sensitive that the startup draw was enough to pop it. Hell, a string of xmas lights would pop it if dew settled on the plug. Anyway, plugged into a non-GFI circuit in the house, the old unit did not pop the breaker. So, if your house doesn't have GFIs or you have a non-GFI circuit, you should be okay on even a 15 amp circuit. With a GFI, you may occasionally even pop a 20 amp. Your mileage may vary. Hope that helps in some way. Greg

No it is not electric start, it has a pull cord that is pretty easy to use, and the generator only needs two to three pulls to get it running.

I wish I could tell you. I installed one in a full size Ford van to help get the heat to the rear of the vehicle and it worked great. It can't pull too much current as I remember only using like #12 wire and it didn't get hot, probably only 10 amps or less would be my guess. Sorry I can't give you an exact answer.

Starts mine just fine. Just check the specs on your AC and the generator. You can also add a hard start capacitor to assist the generator with the load of starting. I believe the Yamaha is 16.7 amps constant and 20 peak. Check your manual on the AC for it's specs. You could however hook it to a 20 amp home outlet and see if starts off of that. If it does the Yamaha should start it but keep in mind this is not a gaurantee. My 13.5k starts off of all my 15 amp garage outlets.

Full power would be speed setting 3, which my kill a watt meter measured to consume about 35 watts. Assuming you have consistent 120 volt outlets (sometimes they are a bit off, but that should not effect calculations too much), we get p=i*v. Plugging in: 35=i*120--> i=.3 amps. Again, using Tony's answer, worst case scenario the initial amperage pull when starting would be 1 amp, then it'd settle down to .3 amps. But when starting the motor I've noticed that it takes a few seconds to get up to speed so the initial pull shouldn't be anywhere near worst case.

Very low. I believe it was less than 1.0 amp. Like 0.6 when I did the math but on the safe side it was 1.6 at the very most. My memory is failing me at the moment but im pretty sure it was less than 1.0 amp. Hope this helps

You need to determine your amp draw on the equipment. Remember that start-up amp on most compressors will be almost time and a half the normal running usage amps.

I don't know how many amps it draws. It is not listed in the specs. I cannot find the paperwork that came with it. I have not hard wired it in yet. I have it temporarily plugged into a heavy duty extension cord on a 30 amp outlet. It comes with a heavy duty cord , with a ground fault plug. When I hard wire it, it will be on a 20 amp circuit.

It draws appx. 9 amps on start up and then draws a steady 7 amps after a few seconds...
