i have a 12v wentch witch is hooked up to my car battery. will this unit supply max 20amps to power the wentch

I would not use this for what you have in mind, it would over heat you need to find one that has a large heat sink with a fan.

Yes it will. I have actually tested this power supply with a load that draws 20 A forabout 1/2 hour and it did the job without problem. The power supply is rated for 30 A,but I never tested it at 30 A.

That makes absolutely no sense. If you have a 12 volt winch hooked up to a car battery, why do you need a power supply to power the winch? You do realize that this converts 110 household current down to 13.8 volts, right?

The instructions say that it draws 18 watts. So a 12V 2 amp (or higher amp rating) power supply would run it.

I'm not sure. Mine is running a car stereo. It can run for sereval hours. I just don't know how many amps I'm pulling from the battery.

yes and no it will depend on what you are running in the car. I have two 5000 amps with three 3500 watt 12" in my trunk. And i have the sirus radio.

My experience would say NO... My unit did not handle a sustained load of that magnitude. I believe it would drain a car battery quickly. I finally put a large truck battery in front of mine, just to run a small refer

Greetings Josh. You will need some battery cables to hook this up to a car battery. Include a fuse (150 amp) and battery disconnect switch. A continuous 120 volt 10 amp draw is probably more than this can handle. Also, a car battery will go flat in short order with that much current draw. 10 amps at 120 volts = 100 amps at 12 volts. Recommend you go with a larger unit that can handle 1600-2000 watts, and a larger battery bank, unless you will be keeping the engine running. Hope that helps.

I use it on a chevy volt, draws 1300 watts on 110 volts and 3300 watts on 220 volts.. works well for my volt,2012 chevy volts max out at 3.3 so it may work differently on cars that allow higher charge rates

I do not know for sure, I think 12amps. it is not strong, would not recommend it

It has a max of 30 amps and car alternators are more then that and the alternator would have its own regulator so to speak so I would not recommend it either. They would conflict. Mike

no I dont believe it will handle the current it is rated for 15?amp max at most

As long as your radio runs on 12VDC. This battery is rated 12amp hours which means it can supply 12 amps at 12VDC for 1 hour before being drained and needing a charge.

It works fine 24v-12v but only 20amp I need higher amperage, it doesn't even run the headlights I installed. I was told to get a 48v-12v 35amp works better for my system.

I have mine connected to a 12v battery fed by a 20 vdc panel. It works well in that configuration.

Yes it will run off any 12v system with a small battery you wont have as much run time as you would a deep cycle or automotive battery , but I am sure it would last all weekend if thats the only thing running off of it ... run a in line fuse of the red wire " positive " & run it how you would like from there .mine has wire coming off the fuse link so I put a eye style connector of that to the battery post .

I ran a small 400 watt inverter off of this unit to operate a laptop computer up on the dash of my motorhome while underway. Worked fine but the key of course is having it on a properly fused 12 volt circuit matched to whatever device your trying to run. This unit has a 15 amp limit. Use it improperly and I'm sure it would burn up.

Yes as long as you don't exceed the controllers maximum current output. This unit at 12vdc draws 560milliamps

Be sure the circuit (fuse) has the capacity to handle the load. I have an aux. battery in my van and charged from a Wagan Quick Jump Starter and it blew a 20a fuse after a couple of days of plugging it in. Be sure you isolate the aux battery in some way or your batteries will try to drain each other.
