I do not know the amp draw-I don't have a DC clamp-on ammeter. I use the cigarette lighter plug that normally uses a 10 amp fuse (I think). If you need more amps, use heavier wire and the battery clamps like uncle bud above.
I can use the 12 volt circuit in the truck, camper or with a portable 12 volt battery. I can raise all 4 jacks with one small drill battery, which I believe has a capacity of 5 Ah.
I have a number of Ryobi tools that all use the same battery so it is cost effective for me to have the Li-ion batteries and chargers. They perform much better than the old nicads.
You can sometimes get a good deal on new Ryobi batteries around thanksgiving or after Christmas.
Hope this helps,
