Unlock the convenience of charging your Mark 2 battery directly from your vehicle’s cigarette lighter. This section provides step-by-step instructions on safely using the 12V to 24V Converter for battery charging.
Warning: Not suitable for directly powering the Mark 2 AC; only for charging the battery.
Requirements: Ensure the cigarette lighter supports a 12V, 15A output.
Usage Instructions:
- Connect the Cigarette Lighter Connector's XT60 interface to the main unit.
- Insert the cigarette lighter end into your vehicle’s 12V socket.
- Attach the GX16-4 connector into the Mark 2 battery to start charging.
- Important: The cigarette lighter connection is only for charging the Mark 2 battery and not for powering the Mark 2 air conditioner directly as it could blow the fuse due to excessive current draw.

For models not listed, please contact our customer support to verify compatibility. Note that issues arising from specification changes by portable power manufacturers after purchase are not covered under warranty or after-sales service.
For those with other types of power sources or who are comfortable with creating custom setups, this section explains how to use the 12V to 24V Converter with any 12V power source capable of delivering 25A and 300W output.
Prerequisites:
- Knowledge and Certification: Utilizing DIY solutions requires knowledge of low-voltage DC electricity and adherence to regulatory certifications concerning such operations.
- Power Requirements: Ensure your power source outputs at least 12V at 25A. It is advised not to power multiple devices simultaneously. If other devices must be connected, ensure the combined wattage, including 300W for the Mark 2, does not exceed the power source's maximum output.
Steps:
-
Connect the Leads:
- Connect the positive and negative leads from your power source to the corresponding leads of the DIY connector.
- Use a multimeter to verify the correct polarity and voltage output at the XT60 connector.
-
Attach the XT60 Connector:
- Connect the DIY connector’s XT60 interface to the main unit.
-
Begin Charging or Powering the Mark 2:
- Connect the GX16-4 connector to the Mark 2 battery to start charging, or directly to the Mark 2 AC unit if powering it.
Safety and Compliance:
- When working with 12V to 24V converters and DIY electrical setups, it's crucial to comply with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations. This may include ensuring all components are rated for their specific uses and that all connections are secure to prevent short circuits and other electrical hazards.
- Always refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes for detailed guidance on low-voltage systems.

I spending many hours on Lakes and Rivers searching for Big Catfish. With the Zero Breeze Mark 2, I can not only fish longer,but also gives me an added sense of breathing comfort, the cool air pushing itno my face, makes my COPD and asthma almost no existent. Thank You Zero Breeze Catfish Dan McCaulley

Great

Can be used to run the zero breeze mk2 directly off a 12v battery. Works perfectly. Doesn't get too warm under use. Cheaper and more reliable than building your own voltage step up cable. Much like the zero breeze, if you use it the way it was intended, it's perfect for the job.

Good!!!! Very Good!!!!!

I picked up the 12V to 24V converted for the Zero Breeze Mark II so I could use it off-grid with my Pecron E1500LFP only over DC. The Pecron E1500LFP has a 12V 30A XT-60 Female output. I needed to pick up a XT-60 Male/Male adapter to wire the two female ends together. Works fantastic and happy with it!

Too expensive. Works. Not more to say

I got this with the EcoFlow adaptor to try to run my Zero Breeze. It seems to be working. I haven't taken it camping, but it seems promising.

It's start blinking red have to disconnect for ten minutes to restart. Filter clean free of debri.
Usually, E03 happens as a result of low power voltage.
Please charge the battery over night today and when you are done follow the instructions of the attachment to trouble shoot and we will see if the problem persists.

I haven’t had a chance to use it yet. I live in NY. It’s cold right now. We have a big cross country trip planned this summer. Psyched to check it out than.
Hi Jason, thanks for writing a review. Sounds great. Hope you enjoy the trip and look forward to you sharing more pictures or videos of the journey with ZB or the happy time. If you need help please let us know. :)

I am very happy with the unit would highly recommend to anybody👍

12V to 24V Converter for MARK 2 Battery
i
Don’t know
G
Battery is good for only 3 hours
Hi Giorgi Ashvili,
Sorry that Mark2 didn't meet your expectations.
Please note that the Mark 2 battery is fully charged before you use it. When you received the battery, it wasn't full charge. If the working time does not reach 3.5h after re-testing please contact our customer service representative. customerservice@zerobreeze.com
Please note that the operating time of Mark2 battery is also related to the environment and power supply you are using . If the temperature or humidity is higher, the power of the air conditioner will also be higher. The intermediate voltage conversion when using the inverter will also bring about the loss of power.
Hope these help you.
Kindest Regards,
Zero Breeze

Adapter works ok but does require some juice to go from 12v to 120v. Has an internal fan and gets warm. Does it’s job just fine
G
I'm so pleased they provided this inverter so I didn't need to plug into my 110V inverter. It seems to work quite well and they provided nice options. As long as it lasts, it's well worth the investment.

Fast shipping .i love Zero breeze mark 2 .cool amazing 12v to 24v dc to dc inverter charging Mark 2 battery.

Great product can now drive and charge battery.

As with all other purchases from ZB since July 2020, this has arrived within about 2 weeks from ordering. Great job ZB! I have performed some testing using a 12V 30A power supply (as my test "battery") and it indeed works properly both for charging the ZB2 battery as well as operating the ZB2 unit directly.

The inverter cord arrived on time and in good shape. Unfortunately, I had to return the ac unit because it would not work where I had originally planned to use it. Zerobreeze sent me a label for that box but not for the inverter. I have sent 2 Facebook messenger texts and an email to support but have not yet been sent a label so that I can send back the inverter. I'm hoping to hear back soon.

Totally love my Zero Breeze 2!!
Cools amazingly well and looks like glamorous alien technology (especially with all 3 intake/exhaust tubes connected). If there’s anything to improve on I would say maybe the screws to connect the front tube (this is an option, but requires a screwdriver, you could make these manually fastening screws) and the remote control (which is of the ‘cheap’ led controller type). That or make it available in the shop to stack some spares. Oh and I would like to buy additional meters of exhaust tube if it were available. But that’s very minor stuff. Totally love this device! 🙏🏼

Funziona veramente bene, e soprattutto non scalda come il trasformatore da 230/12 v.

As a portable electronic device, this component should have been included in the original order, something to think about going forward.

Why does the 12v to 24v energy converter have a 2-pin XTC60 on the input, and a 4-pin aviation connector on the output? Does the 4-pin merge two negative and two positive wires to be able to carry the increased voltage on each wire? I’m curious because the connectors are much different than other consumer home electronics. Also, can you please rename future products to something other than secret society persecution of humans or negative cultural mindset? Thank you kindly. The Target.

How long is the cable between the black box and to the end that connects to the AC unit?
Hi Michael, it is about 43inches.
