Hi, If I used Battery Power, is there an isolation switch to isolate USB Power from Battery Power when converting?

There is no isolation switch. I generally don't use batteries, and just run it off the USB.

I did not see an isolation switch on the unit to isolate the USB power from the Batter Power.

Many newer computers have an option to keep the usb ports powered to charge devices even when the pc is off. There may be an option in your bios to disable this feature.

Not that I'm aware of unless there is a special converter or inverter, something of that nature. Sorry.

I do not think so. The USB adapter is for transferring data only. Only DC battery. no 110 AC input.

Please elaborate, there is an specific definition for isolated output that would say NO this isn't an isolated output, but I don't think that a one size fits all definition would help you. This does not provide an isolated output, and this is mainly because you can get all parasitic currents and transients from original source (therefore not an isolated output per definition) and of course there is always a chance to bounce back the short circuit to the original power source (extremely rare) because there are no isolation components such as transformers, zeners, etc...

by power converter, you mean a transformer? or an adaptor that just switches the plug? thanks

Unless they have changed it, no. There is no software to interact with the unit. USB is for power only. In order to do what you're asking, I got a THUM.

The answer to this question is absolutely yes, but it will take a very long time to do so, probably so long you don't need to worry about it. Even if no devices are plugged in, there is still a small amount of current (quiescent current) drawn by the device that converts the battery voltage to USB voltage (5V). I am an electrical engineer that designs power supplies.

im not sure what you mean i but a seprate switch to my batterys if that helps sorry

It has a separate power supply, unfortunately it is not USB-powered.Hope this helps & enjoy.

This unit runs on USB power. There is no need to plug this into an electric socket.

I just checked the instructions that came with the unit. It states that you can charge USB devices on AC or battery power but in order to save battery life the unit will cease charging external devices if being played on a high volume setting during battery operation. Hope that helps. ;)

No, you will need an external switch to do that. Also you need to make sure it bypasses your charging system, so that you are not trying to charge your batteries from the inverter.

You want to look for an "add a circuit" or "add a line" fuse for your fusebox & something that can conver that to USB power.

Yes, that is exactly what I do. Even though my laptop has a usb port, I did not want to tie it up just to get power from it.

Good question, dont remember if it actually does. I pretty much use it via USB power.

You can connect two of these to your battery but I don't recommend charging the battery and using the USB at the same time.
