Is it possible (safe and not detrimental to useful life) to purchase two of these and leave one plugged in to an outlet for a "hot swap" when needed?

Do not leave bthem plugged up. Plugging them up removes the water they have collected in them and they get very hot. Do not leave plugged up more than 5 hours

i am sorry i dont have an answer for you, however, to dry mine i plug it in for maybe 4hrs but, away from the wall it does become hot when it dries the particles inside. the stack on has a small hanger so i hang mine with an extension cord outlet

I wouldn't recommend keeping one plugged in any longer than it needs to dry out. It does get warm and over time it might ruin the heating element; assuming there is one. But probably the bigger issue would be the wasted electricity. I hope this helps.

Unfortunately there is only one plug so you will not be able to separate the switched plug from the one that remains hot all the the time.

That wouldn't be a good idea because you will be removing a built-in protection against electrocution/short circuits and I'm sure it's against the building code. I would find another outlet to replace.

It depends on the amp rating of both devices. If the converter is rated above the max amperage draw of the cooker, you should be OK. However, I would not leave it unattended and see how hot the converter gets. The converter will get warm, but not so much you can't touch it. Good luck.

No. There isn't room on the face for any more stuff. With two source devices plugged in, you turn one off and then turn the other one on.

Sure. If you live in an area where the voltage isn't reliable it's best to put a protective device on your outlet.

Yes, that would be fine.Because I left mine plugged up since the day I got it, and the green and the red lights are malfunctioning.If you leave it plugged up, chances are it could fry.

I don't believe that would be a problem but have not yet tried that. I would imagine it would depend on the voltage of the items you are plugging into it.

Manufacturer recomments to be pluged directly to outlet, using an extension the outlet may trip,Hope that helps,RegardsYanis

Yes you can. BUT!!! I would recommend an external power supply if you're talking about putting them in a computer. I know from professional experience that most computer power supplies don't have enough reserve output to handle that many properly. If one of them flickers or you unhook it and reconnect it while the computer is running, it will cause a hard reboot and you know that's how files get damaged. Hope that helps! A cheap battery charger is much better than using the computer power supply for multiple cold cathode kits. Stability is good... :):):) I also use a few of them for workbench and cabinet lights connected to a 12 volt battery with an automatic charger. Pretty sweet... In a car or boat you'd be good for probably however many you want!!! :):):)

Yes, just be sure to buy an AC to DC power adapter. I've had mine plugged in for over a week at times.

Hi- not unless you cut off the ground prong. But I don't know if the unit would supply power to anything if it is not connected to ground- that's a question the manufacturer would need to answer. If it did, you could then plug in multiple appliances. You might search for one that's designed for 2 prongs- I think I saw a couple when I was looking for this one. Good luck-

Hi, no. I own 2 in one space and both must plug into a power source independently.

To my knowledge, you can charge it either way. The safest way would be to have the switch in the off position.

I have tried it both ways, but it always seemed that when I left it unplugged and needed it, there was no power. Now I leave it plugged in all the time. However, probably like other devices of this nature, it might be a good idea to let it run out occasionally and recharge.

It is unlikely. Typically it's one source to the outputs...in this case, you can switch that source between 2 devices.

Sure, that would work great. You could plug a power strip in and turn everything on or off. Just be sure that if you un-plug and re-plug in, some things do not automatically turn on (ex: newer Ac's, TV's)
