Full details

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum total power output?

The RMS7 has a maximum total output of 8A across all its sockets (2x 12V and 1x USB).

Can I charge my laptop with this?

The RMS7 can charge laptops if they use a 12V adapter that draws 8A or less. However, the 1A USB port is too slow for most laptop charging requirements.

How long is the cable?

The cable is 1 meter (approximately 3.3 feet) long and is coiled for tidiness.

What does the battery analyser do?

The battery analyser provides a visual indication of the available power in your vehicle's battery.

Is the USB port fast charging?

No, the USB port provides a standard 1A output, which is suitable for basic charging but not considered fast charging for modern devices.

Can I use both 12V sockets and the USB port at the same time?

Yes, you can use all ports simultaneously, provided the total power draw does not exceed the 8A limit.

Does it have a fuse?

Yes, the RMS7 includes an 8A fuse for protection against overcurrent.

Troubleshooting

No power to any sockets

Check that the vehicle's 12V socket is functional by testing with another device. Ensure the RMS7 is fully plugged in. Verify the vehicle's fuse for the 12V socket is intact.

USB port not charging device

Ensure the USB cable is correctly connected and functional. Try a different USB cable. Confirm the device is drawing 1A or less, as the USB port has a 1A limitation.

Device shows 'Low Battery' on analyser

This indicates the vehicle's battery power is low. It is recommended to start the vehicle's engine to charge the battery or have the battery checked by a professional.

Overheating or unusual smell

Immediately unplug the device and do not use it. Check the total power draw of connected devices; it should not exceed 8A. Contact customer support if the issue persists.
