Answer 1

my cat ses meow!

Answer 2

I think it will work but don't blame me if it doesn't because i've never tried it before. Why? are you trying to jump start your car?

Answer 3

No. There is a difference between AC and DC electric motors.

Answer 4

idk, but it can't hurt to try, right :) ? Outlets and car batterys are both sources of power...so it could work. Let me know how it goes.

Answer 5

Wall outlets are 110v AC power

Car batteries are 12v DC power.

Unless there is an adapter in the 110v plug which converts the power to 12vDC that you haven't mentioned, if you hook it up directly, then you better have a fire extinguisher handy .You'll need it.  

Answer 6

yeah i done that B 4

Answer 7

Yes and then promptly explode if the voltage isn't checked appropriately.

Make sure the output voltage on the car battery and the wall are the same, and if anything I'd say that the car battery is a waste of money to use in place of the wall. I understand that this is for portability though.

Answer 8

Most likely not. The difference in voltage could fry the engine. And it could have one of those energy converters that takes only grounded power.
