Hi aain
further to my post 40877, I am still getting the run around from manufacturers (I've emailed some) re whether or not their LCD tellies that are run from 'bricks' (power adaptors) will therefore run on 12vDC from a battery - you'd think some of them had never heard of a battery! I have explained that the voltage may be 13.5volts (or even a little more) but that normal voltage drop will bring that down. I have asked if that voltage is within the 'usual' tolerance of typical circuitry for these tellies - none of them know for sure (fair enough you might say) but (frustratingly) none of them will find out - not fair enough I think. Retailers are not keen on me connecting one their demo models to my Thumper to check it out - funny about that!
The question is: has anybody reading this actually fitted the barrell plug type that goes into the tellie (from the 'brick), to a cigarette lighter (or Hella type) plug and plugged into a normal, everyday, run-of-the-mill car (or similar) 12v DC battery? Did it work OK and is it still working?
Thanks in advance
George
