I have a 12v 70w heating coil, can this battery run it or is that too great of a load?

This is a "lantern battery" (big flashlights and the like. It would not be a good choice for a 70 watt heating coil. There aren't enough amp-hours stored, and source resistance would likely be way to high.

I believe the load is too high. There's not a lot of amp/hours in the battery, and I think it's designed for loads in the mAh range at low resistance. You need a battery capable of supplying about 6 amps (70 watts at 12 volts is 5.8 amps) continuously for the period you need (and probably a way to recharge it to avoid continuous replacement).

I used mine to power a bilge pump. That uses the power very sparingly to check for water level all the time. Then users more power to power the pump when water is present. It worked quite well for that. My guess is it would power your heating coil. The question is how much it would consume and how long it would last with the battery. But would it power it up? Most likely yes. Engineer could probably tell you more.

NO. This is a carbon cell battery, designed for low drain over extended periods.

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.

It shouldn't if it"s the 80/100.if it's the 100/130 use it only in cold weather due to it being so hot but the battery should handle any load.just the plastic gets hot.

The contacts can certainly handle that voltage , it's the amperage you need to be careful with . The pick-up coil will turn to smoke in a nano second at that voltage but I bet you have it wired for a 12 volt trigger (switch/relay) to activate it .

No. You would need a dummy load for that, something that would draw a lot of current without burning up.

That's a great battery for an inverter, but I wouldn't go any larger on the inverter with that size battery. Just watch your usage and time so that you don't run the battery all the way down.

Sorry, the amperage is too high for your needs. It could overheat what you are powering.

I would say that their would be no problem, but if this was mine, I would not use the 7,500 cord on that big of a generator. It might be ok, depending on the load, if the load is more than the 7,500 watts the cord would heat up real bad. if the load is smaller than 7,500 watts, then this cord is great. hope this helped

Well, that load is within spec. I have not run mine this hard, but at this price it seems worth a try.I have had excellent performance thus far at 48V, probably 2-3 A.

If it draws 4.5 amps at 12v, yes- it should do fine if the days are long. What I did was to make one out of a heat pump, regular camping cooler and insulation. It only cost about $50, compared to almost $500 for a commercial one.

No. I use it for a 400mA load on 24Vdc. So i cannot tell you How it would behave under "mire stressful loads. But with us they do not heat at all. Ok, the coil is extremely fragile. But with more than 100 installed only two failed, one of them having the coil broken from its soldering contact.

It pulls 50 amps an hour from a battery system. If there's no charge ing of the battery's then yes it would drain the battery. But as long as your alternator is good and it's putting out 50 amps or more then you should be fine to run the heater while the engine is running.

You should have no problems with that battery. I hooked up the light to a 12V supply I have. The light uses 0.8A.

Sorry I hit yes when I wanted to hit no. The heater can draw 21 amps if running at full power. I believe it runs at full every time it starts. It cycles often to maintain heat. The inrush current might be too high for the generator breaker switch.

Depending on what else u run with generator , it does not require many amps when running . A 3kw will be fine Maybe a lil surge when u first plug it in

Its more the amps that would be the concern. It says it handles 20amps @ 120vac, so I would think as along as you stay under the 20amps you should be alright.

What are you using the battery for? In general 1 watt won't do much for this battery.

This battery is by the numbers is .1ah larger than what you have, which simply means more run capacity. The voltage is the same so it should not be a problem.
