Will a moving vehicle at 60 miles per hour, like mounted in a car window, generate the max power. Thanks.

I do not under stand why people want to put these on their moving vehicle. The engine is running, turning an alternator at 1000+rpm. It is better to use the alternator which puts out 12V DC at 40+ amps. These products are for when you are not already running an engine and alternator and need to generate electricity.

I am wondering if you were overloading the circuitry. If you have a powerful radio or premium sound system, it can draw significant power, so if you were using more than the USB charger functionality, the 110v socket, you have to do the math. 150W is the rating. If the car was running, you charge at about 13.8V, and watts equal volts times amps, W=V*I so amps = watts divided by volts. Amps = 150/13.8 = 10.9 amps. If the vehicle was not running, then the amperage changes because the input voltage changes. This would be 150/12.4 = 12.1 amps. Of course this is at maximum load. If you add the all of the cigarette accessories together, you're allowed 15 amps. This leaves only 3.9 amps for your radio and any other loads that may be on the cigarette lighter, such as other phone chargers, gps, mp3 player, etc. I was able to use this inverter to run a crockpot on low through an extension cord to the back seat floor, while using a GPS and playing the radio at a moderate volume in a Ford Explorer without any fuses being blown. I suggest trying it by itself and powering only ONE device through the 110V socket that operates at a maximum of 150 watts. Devices with electric motors such as fans and compressors can draw double the current (therefore watts) when it starts up and this is called Peak power consumption. Try it with something without a motor if possible.

I don't think it will go that far. While the booster takes very little power which would enable a solar panel to power it (as long as it can put out 120 volts at 10 - 15 watts), the signal from the indoor antenna only travels about 20 - 30 feet it seems. I have the indoor antenna in my living room, and it gives me a stronger signal in the living room, kitchen, and dining room, but that's about 30 feet at the most. Beyond that, if I go outside, I don't see a difference with the booster.

No more than 80 miles and 50 miles an hour max speed.make sure you have proper tire pressure.

This product comes with a cord with clips on it so you could connect it directly to the battery. The product then would produce to it's maximum stated power output. In any case without anything plugged in to either the AC or the four USB ports it would not drain enough power to have any impact on the vehicle.

I answered this question previously from my Galaxy but it doesn't show in the system.The duromax is a great generater, but don't worry about auto throttle its a waste of time unless you plan to run nothing or a 60w lamp.As soon as you give it a load it will increase rpm and deliver.May as well not have the feature, some say not to use it anyway.Want to use less gas, buy a smaller KW generator or a more expensive engine (Honda), I was running most of my house and got .8 gallon per hour.

switching back and forth between 5 watts and 15 watts did it for me.actually, I bought it for my motor home so i can recharge my dead battery so i can start the engine periodically.It is the best charger i have owned. even if you are stuck in the 70-90 % range, it only takes about 3 hours to charge the dead battery enuf to start my rig.my battery is a 800-1000 peak battery

You mean 900 Watts. Good question. We need a graph that shows output versus wind speed, which any reliable manufacturer should supply.

Depends on what you are trying to start, but with 600 amps at your disposal, it will start most vehicles instantly

I have one and no need for watts these things are bright for their size! Not to mention tough. I had it on my car when I went into the back of a truck at 50mph and the only thing that survived was my light bar and me. The thing still works like new!

I run 1800watt Kenwood .. For both and it vibrates my entire car. I only have it set 1/5 th of the way up. It still has a lot more power to go. I just dont want to break my windows.

Best application is semi-pro or home use. It can be used in a vehicle but you MUST provide a proper power source. In the U.S., that would be 120 Volts AC, 60 Hertz. Inverters are available that could be used for this application. It is also possible to redesign the internal power supply if this is a permanent vehicle installation. This degree of modification is called re-engineering and you have to have quite a bit of expertise in electronics to do it. Also keep in mind this EQ was not designed for the harsh environment of a vehicle..... hot, cold, humidity, vibration, etc.

Probably but not if you crank it up much. This is for a steady draw from light bulbs. The only way to steadily power a car stereo is with a high amperage power supply. The easiest method is what I do in my golf cart. I have a marine deep cycle battery that runs the radio, then when I am done, I put it on charge overnight. For longer periods to keep the battery charged up I have a float charger. Yes this is a hassle but car stereos draw a lot of power at only 12-14v so they need a lot of amperage to crank them up. Easiest thing is to get a good sized (it should weigh a few pounds minimum) power supply. A battery charger alone will buzz like crazy and not be good for the constant amp draw.

I have no idea. I've only used it inside a moving vehicle. It seems to make a fairly strong connection so go for it.

It has two 150 watts belt drive electric motors and can travel at a max speed of 12 miles per hour.It can achieve a 15 mile range and/or one hour on a full charge.

No. These types of products take very little energy, in most cars probably none when the car is off. The important thing to understand about this particular item is that it is poorly made and will not last more than a few weeks before it must be replaced.

I have not tested but theoretically yes, but it will not run at full speed. The motor is rated for 12 volts and AA only put out 1.5 volt so 4 AA in series would be 6 volts. If it turns it would be slow. I would recomend finding either a 12v rc car battery or a 12v "wall wart" depending on your needs.
