will this give me enough power to heat up hot water for tea? what about a 12 v cooler?

depends on how fast you want to heat the water. at 60 watts it will take awhile. Best use for the panel is to charge a 12V battery, then use the battery with high energy to heat water. the panel will then recharge the battery.

If you hook this panel to a charge controller, from charge controller to the battery, it will charge the battery and run your 12v cooler and heat your hot water for tea at the same time if the hot water is 12v or else you will need an inverter, probably 1500-2000 watts.

I would say "yes", Sandra; 110VAC to 12VDC/5A is standard for portable coolers. Mine works great, I use it everyday! (on the convertor in my office) It actually cools better on the AC adapter than when I've used it of the 12VDC from the car. Hope this helps! :)

Yes it will if you have the proper plug-in from your 12v unit. Mine runs a 18 can capacity cooler 24/7.

Yes to both questions. Any kind of tea will work. It can handle the hot water.

Yes, if you have the power available it would work very well. It has a sensor to check incoming water temp and a selection knob to set the target output temperature. Mine tends to run hot but it stays consistent with higher or lower flows of water which wasn't the case with other brand units I've had in the past which would scald if the flow was too slow. Should be great for a shower.

Yes it will. The individual circuits allow you to adjust which circuits you are using that would max out the input. I have mine set up so that it will only heat water if I turn off a few circuits that would run normal stuff while I turn on the water heater. Once I have hot water I shut down that circuit and light up my normal circuits again.

I would not suggest it. Few things. 1.) There are three heating "silos" within the unit one for each breaker. So one "silos" wouldn't be doing anything unless you got fancy with the wiring. 2.) I think the device uses only as many breakers as it needs, so if the water is unusually warm I can see it only pulling power from one breaker until it hits the set temperature. If the water is unusually cold it will pull from all three until it hits the set temperature. 3.) I do not believe the wiring within the unit is rated for 6-2 so you would probably mess something up.

Yes, provided the power is 125Vt A/C or you can see if they have a unit that matches the power requirements as used in your area. I am very happy with my installed unit and has cut down my use of water as I had to leave the water run a long time before the water would get hot!

Hi, I believe you'll need to figure out what the amperage is of the power supplies that what you want to run and if anything else is running on the same circuit. I read in the reviews and elsewhere that you should use this accessory with a 15A or less fuse, so I have it on a circuit with 15A in my travel trailer. My laptop 12v power supply uses 3.5A, the Coleman 12v cooler uses 5A, the phone charger uses 1.5A I think. I have run the cooler and a charger at the same time without it melting or blowing a fuse. I did fry the last dual power outlet (different make, felt cheaper) with the same usage (Caveat: I am not an electrician and am just sharing my experience.)

yes it would run warm at 48 volts, but can safely be used at a lower voltage tap

I don't think so. It is only 11 watts I don't think it would warm it enough to give you what you are looking for.

You will need an adapter to connect a standard water hose to the unit. The major issue is the electrical hookup and potential hazards related to water and 220 V power. Also, don't expect HOT water. This should device be advertised as a water warmer since it barely increases water temperature. I will never buy another one of these.

I use mine for hot English tea love it for trips stays good and hot for hours Just Water I wouldn't know mine was bought for hot teas

The water heater element is rated at 1650 watts and at 120 volts it will draw 13.75 amps. At alower voltage it will draw less because the resistance of the heating element is calabrated at 120 volts which is the standard for all power companies. A 20 amp circuit with 12 (awg) american wire-gauge wire is required. If you plan to connect it to an existing kitchen circuit please turn off all other appliances on that circuit. I recommend a dedicated circuit for this heater. After all this is done it works well for the kitchen sink and dishwasher. Enjoy. Al S. EE

I think it would. I have done something similar, and it kept the water hot for a couple of hours. I haven't tried it for a longer period of time, so I can't guess how long it will so work.

Maybe, but not recommended, you should have a PSU that provide AT LEAST 18 A in the +12 V rail.

Depends on how much wattage the hot water tank needs (VOLTSxAMPS)=WATTS. Also, don't expect to get the full 400W out of this unit.
