How many watts does an aerobed use

Cappy Well-Known Member. Messages 2, Points Location South Louisiana. The aereo beds are really rugged and to inflate them all ya need is a cheap converter plug in ya 12 volt and then plug in the matress.

They make 2 tyypes ones ya hook to battery and are wired in or the plug into the cigerette lighter hole types. By "converter plug," I assume you mean inverter. We have one. But usually the car is far enough from the tent that the mattress would have to be inflated and then carried to the tent. But getting the inflated mattress into the tent is another problem. Thanks for the input. Still looking for other ideas. I saw a watt portable battery pack on YouTube that might be a solution, but the brand wasn't mentioned and I couldn't find it online.

Anyone know anything about that? Hikenhunter Well-Known Member. Do a Google search for Portable Power Packs. A whole bunch of stuff will come up. Portable power packs are simply 12 volt batteries with a power inverter built into them. They usually have cables for jumping cars and several volt outlets plus several other outlets such as usb ports for charging cell phones etc I have the Duracell HD.

It comes with a set of short jumper cables. It can be charged through your standard volt outlets at home or you can charge it through your cigarette lighter in your car while you drive. We take it car camping to keep our cell phones charged.

On long camping trips with the grand kids we take a portable DVD player and have a movie night during the week, I use it to power the DVD player because the battery in the dvd player usually doesn't last for a whole movie. I've also found it handy for a bunch of other reasons both camping and at other times. It is great for running power tools when you only need them for a short while.

There are many others out there but the duracell has lasted me for 5 years and is still running strong. Because it is basically a 12 volt battery, repeated charging will eventually put it in a state where it will no longer hold a charge and I will replace it with another Duracell HD.

Hope this gets you pointed in the right direction. TroyS New Member. Messages Points 0. We recently got this full-size air mattress for our two boys to use in our backyard. Perhaps this might be what you're looking for. Thanks, both of you. Hickenhunter, I assume that battery pack would be powerful enough to run a plug-in air mattress pump. Am I correct? Insert the adapter into the valve on the mattress. Insert or connect the batteries to an electronic air pump.

Start pumping. Continue pumping until the bed has the appropriate amount of air. Asked by: Kais Peij home and garden home appliances How much power does an air mattress pump use? Last Updated: 15th May, Vitorino Dziedzi Professional. How do you inflate an air mattress with a built in pump? If your bed has a built-in pump , twist the cap to the direction which inflates. When the bed is filled, twist the cap in the direction that closes off the air flow.

Make sure the valve is closed off to prevent air from leaking out. Some beds have a lock option to secure air.

Alvard Pashkov Professional. Can you use aerobed camping? Aerobed Classic Inflatable Mattress is a great budget option with heavy-duty construction. Probably one of the best camping air mattresses avaialable. It has a flocked fleece surface and puncture-resistant PVC plastic vinyl.

Even though the pump isn't build in it has an auto-on feature for hands free inflating. Djibi Glasbrinner Professional. What is the best air mattress with built in pump?

Lazery Sleep Air Mattress. Jame Borde Explainer. Can you use a bike pump to inflate an air mattress? Use a bike or tire pump : Yes, you can actually use your tire or bike pump to inflate your air mattress. The standard bike pump can be used in pumping air into your airbed. Bring the plastic bag up to the air hole of the mattress and hold the open end of the bag around the nozzle.

Reimundo Ellbrunner Explainer. How do you inflate an air mattress when camping? Topic: power inverter for aerobed help please. The Aerobed uses watts to operate the inverter i was looking at says: I t can convert DC 12V electricity source into AC V power.

Note that should be the running wattage, not the peak wattage, that usualy is the double, but only for a couple of seconds. The comom inverters are square wave wich is good for almost all the equipment we need to use, but not for lamps, etc. I got a W inverter for the same reason, it works fine I have a Watt Nikkai inverter I bought from maplin several years ago , This one ,It claims to have a watt surge capacity.

Probably quite useful for starting up a motor I also have a couple of the kiddies aero beds , their pumps are also V 0. Hope this is of some use.
