can this unit be powered directly off a 12V automotive battery?

I havent tried it myself, but I would to say-Yes it can be powered by a 12v car battery.

all I'd say is "probably"... the standard chargers that come with the unit are just 12V 5amp, so as long as the car battery can output that current, shouldn't be a problem.. how it may drain the battery is something else, but the power consumption is pretty low (one of the benefits of LEDs), and if the car would be running, not an issue. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure I understand your question. These units are powered by 12v DC. They are for auto applications.

I'm not sure what you're asking. If you mean "can this be powered from the 12 volt power supplied by an automobile battery?" ... my answer is "maybe." I run mine with the power transformer used for 12 volt landscape lighting ("Malibu Lights"). I BELIEVE that these lights are originally meant to be used on campers and motor-homes, for exterior lighting when parked. That would mean being powered by the vehicle battery.

none. you have to connect the supplied plug to the 12 volts battery of your car.

Not made for that. 12v only. I use mine on my cycles to power, and or charge GPS units mainly.

Yes, runs on a 12v battery. If you tried to run off your cigarette lighter, you could only used around 1/10 of the power (100 watts) before blowing the cigarette lighter 10 amp fuse. This unit designed to connect directly to 12v car battery.

Driving it directly from the 12V in my car works fine. I assume a boat would be similar.

No, it can only be plugged into a power port or an adapter to run directly off the battery.

You cannot, it is made for use on a 12v system, such as that that a car runs on. If you really wanted to, you could use a 12v converter and try that, but i doubt it would work well.

The unit is supplied with a transformer that has an output of 12 volts DC. It does not come packaged with a power adapter for direct 12 volt DC hookup, but you could easily make one. The plug would be the same as the one on the transformer output with the other end being a cigarette lighter automobile type connection or whatever other connection to the 12 volt source you would be using. I do not see any reference to a 12 volt connection in the owners manual, but I see no reason why it could not be done. Just be sure you connect it with the correct 12 volt DC polarity. Or do what the other commentor said. Get an inverter.

No, this unit is for alternating current (AC) use only. Automotive applications are always direct current (DC).

can this be powered by a car battery? YES (car battery 12V VDC) Supply Voltage 12~240VDC or 24~240VACWhat I need is a loud horn or siren to go off if someone comes through a door Switching Capacity 250VAC/1A, 30VDC/2A Relay Output with 12 V max 2A = 24 Watts

This unit is DC powered, so I'm assuming you are referring to a DC powered system where you are wiring directly to a 12V DC power source... try it!

No. This unit is made for a motor cycle. Just use the power cord that comes with it. It requires 12 volts in

My experience would say NO... My unit did not handle a sustained load of that magnitude. I believe it would drain a car battery quickly. I finally put a large truck battery in front of mine, just to run a small refer

No. This unit uses 18 and 20 volts on a multipin connector, you could use a small inverter in front of it to run from 12 volts.

No sir, this is not that kind of a power supply. But, you Can buy battery chargers, (a type of power supply), that will start automobiles. Just search for 'Battery Chargers' in Automotive.
