It's amps, not watts. Right there in the description, it says so.
Dear customer,br>br>This detector requires a 12 volt DC power supply to operate. It is not advised to be used in a home.
Dear Customer,br>br>We have already thought about such a scenario. When the battery voltage falls below 9 volts but continues to fall below 8, the alarm is triggered. When the battery voltage falls below 8 volts, the alarm (detector) will turn off and the battery will not be depleted.
It will warm up for about 30 seconds before it is ready to detect. Thank you!

This was installed in my son's van, which he is converting into a living space. He claimed that it was simple to set up. When he was finished, he placed a propane tank nearby that had a small leak, and it went off. As a result, we were pleased.
Our propane gas detector had started beeping and needed to be replaced just a few days before we left in the RV. Fortunately, I discovered this one on Amazon, and it arrived in two days and was simple to replace the previous one. Not all RV chores are as simple as that.
Everything needed to replace the old one was included in the package. It was a perfect fit for the existing screw holes, and it sits slightly flusher than the original. I'd buy from them again in a heartbeat. It came with screws and wire nuts, so I cut two wires from the old unit, stripped the wire ends, twisted them together, added wire nuts, and screwed it in place. It's that easy.
Installation was simple and straightforward, and the product performs admirably. The alarm is far less irritating than my previous one. br>br>My old one was 16 years old when it started going off at odd hours like 3:00 a. m. 00 am. There were no leaks in my house. No more random alarms now that it's been replaced.
The 12 year old unit in the travel trailer I purchased last summer was the perfect replacement. It finally began to beep and display a blinking light code, indicating that it had failed. They're only rated for 7 years, so the previous owners of my travel trailer must have gotten some great "bang-for-your-buck. " for- their- buck". br>br>This unit is the same size as the old one and connects with only two wires. Thank you to the manufacturer for keeping things standardized so that I don't have to patch a hole for a smaller unit.
My RV's LP detector was replaced by this product. It's smaller and easier to read, and it has a digital display that shows how much LP gas is detected (none), which makes me feel better.
The original, which was a "set" with a valve, needed to be replaced. I took out the valve and replaced it with this one in the same location as the old one. The sound is quite loud and irritating, and because it is connected directly to the battery, it stays on all the time. At least, that's how I hooked it up so I could make sure it was always turned on. It hasn't been drained by the battery in a week.
I had no idea I needed to replace my propane/carbon monoxide detector every 84 months until it started beeping, thank goodness for Pangaea propane detectors, cut two wires (one at a time), strip, twist wire nut, two screws, done. Make certain that your original whole size is not affected by a bad detector.
