Batteries are rated in terms of Ampere Hours or Milliampere Hours. The amount of current being delivered at any point in time is governed by Ohm's Law. Current = Voltage / Resistance.

Can you plug a 110 volt into 30 amp RV?
Only if it's a 220v system.
Can a 120vac refrigerator operate from a 12vdc 10a converter?
Absolutely not. I think it is possible, but it depends on how many Amps [or Watts] the refrigerator draws [uses], AND the sustained output [Amps or Watts] that the converter is capable of producing. For example, if the converter was rated for a sustained/continuous output of 10 Amps at 120 Volts [that's 1200 Watts], and the refrigerator requires only 6 Amps at 120 Volts [that's 720 Watts], then I say the converter can safely operate the refrigerator.Answer 3 -- Watt?Are you thinking of running a 120 volt refrigerator from a car battery? Back up to "absolutely not". There are RV refrigerators that can run for a short time from a car battery (preferably a deep-cycle type), but they can barely keep the fridge cool under the best of circumstances.Unless the engine is running, the battery will be drained in a couple of hours. If the battery is a deep-cycle, you can recharge it; if not, you'll have to buy a new battery.Also, if the fridge requires 720 watts and the converter is only 50% efficient, it's sucking 1500 watts from the battery, which is a lot more than leaving the headlights on. Even the little "six pack" coolers that run on 12 volts will run a battery down pretty quickly unless the engine is running. Try using an ice chest.
How many watts does an RV air conditioner use?
P=I x E (watts= amps x voltage) Look at the voltage and multiply by the amperage on the units nameplate and you will get your answer.
How do you connect two deep cycle 12-volt batteries in parallel to an RV?
Assuming neither battery is used to start the engine, simply connect the positive (+) terminal of the first battery to the positive terminal of the second battery. Then connect the negative (-) terminal of the first battery to the negative terminal of the second battery. Connect the load circuit to the positive and negative terminals of one of the batteries as usual. You may want to charge the batteries separately before making the connection, since connecting a charged battery to a discharged battery will result in a very large current flowing from the charged battery to the discharged battery, possibly damaging the wiring or either battery.
Are there any electric stoves that are 110 volts?
Kitchen stoves operated on less than 220 volts are rare because of the high amperage that would be required for a 110-volt range to operate. You may be able to find one that is normally used in a camper or an RV.
Why do i still have 12 volt when i use disconnect switch in my RV?
The RV has a 12 Volt DC power supply that operates all the 12 Volt DC items in your RV when your plugged in to 110 V AC.
What kind of battery can power a 40 watt light bulb?
If the bulb is a 40 watt, 120v bulb, you would need 20 6 volt batteries wired in series, or 80 (!) 1.5 volt batteries. 1.5 volt batteries are AAA, AA, C, D, etc. Since this solution is rather extravagant, try finding a light bulb made for an RV. These typically run off of 12 volts, and you can get a single 12 volt battery, or 2 6 volt batteries, to run this bulb.
How many amps is the new 2013 coachmen rv catalina santara series 272dbs travel trailers?
30-Amp Electrical Service
How do you connect black and white wires to a 12 volt battery?
If you have a houseboat or an RV, the wiring is the same as a house. The black is the hot and it goes to the positive, the white is the neutral and goes to the negative. If you are not certain, contact the manufacturer of your watercraft.
What is 12V lighting typically used for?
12V means 12 Volts DC or Direct Current. 12 volts is the standard voltage from a car battery. 12 volt lighting is found as Car accessories, in Campers and in RV-Homes. If a (holiday) house is located far away from the electrical grid a 12 Volt system based on solar panels and car-battery storage can be implemented.

How do you fix RV rear lights that have no power?
charge the battery
What is standard size wire used for 50 amp RV outlets?
A #6 copper conductor is rated at 65 amps. To connect to a 50 amp RV outlet you will need a four conductor #6 SOW 600 volt cabtire. The black and red wires go on terminals X and Y. The white wire goes on terminal W. The green wire goes on terminal G.

How do you connect two deep cycle 12 volt batteries in parallel to an RV?
First off you must have the same type batteries. Connect the positive post of the first battery to the positive post of the second battery. Then connect the negative post of the first battery to the negative post of the second battery. Now connect the positive post of the first battery to the positive connection on the vehicle. Then connect the negative post of the first battery to the negative cable of the vehicle. Click the link for a diagram.

A string of 20 Christmas tree lights are connected in series to a 20 volt power source The bulbs each have a resistance of 1/2 ohm How much current is flowing through the circuit?
I = V/RV= 20 voltsR = Total resistance = 10 * 0.5 = 10 ohmsI = 2 amps
