Q: How many hours of continuous use will this item supply on one charge?

A: This item is connected to your car battery, it is not independently charged.

Q: I want to use this when the home power goes out. Can I buy a car battery and use that with this inverter in my home? How long will battery charges last before I have to buy a new one? Thanks.

A: You could, but it wont last long, this is made to be used hooked up to a 12v system, like a car that is being charged while in use by the alternator. It converts the 12v DC to 110 AC.

Q: How do you charge this item?

A: You don’t charge it. You connect it to your battery or you connect it to a cigarette port in your car.

Q: Can this continually power a heater for my fish tank? I am going into 30 degree temperatures with a 60 degree minimum fish. I need to generate my own electricity.

A: Hmm what power source would have in this location? This inverter is made to be used with a 12v system, like a car battery that is being charged while in use by the alternator. It converts the 12v DC to 110 AC.
