Product description says"converts DC power stored in 12-Volt batteries or other DC power sources". Can I use AC-DC switching power supply as a source?

Not sure I understand what you are trying g to do. Can you explain a little more in depth?

Only do this with a DC-DC converter (12 to 5V) as the power cord that comes with this decreased the input voltage to this (via a voltage divider inside of the plug). It will run with 12V but this will decrease the life of the unit. A DC-DC converter can be purchased on Amazon for around $6.

No. It requires 12V DC power source (battery for example) or adapter converting 110V AC to 12V DC.

I ordered a A.C. to D.C. power supply that had a battery charging circuit and a 16VAC power cube to power the power supply. I used a hidden, common light switch to control the power. So. Basically, you need to provide 12VDC to the magnet and have a way to switch it on and off.

Yes you can use a converter 12 v.I have a bank of batteries and a converter 12 v., 1200 wat and works perfectly. Consumes about 300 wat

Should work. But i suggest to find 24v DC - AC inverter and hook it directly to your batteries. Converting from 24V to 12V and then to AC voltage is not efficient at all.

No. It converts DC to AC. I use it to operate a CPAP machine using a 12 volt deep cycle battery while camping.

No. Not what it is intended for. It takes 48 volts DC to 12 volts DC @ 10 amps

12 VDC, 4.2W. I used an 8 cell AA battery pack for my use. You could use any DC power supply generating 12 VDC & able to supply .4 A or more. I tried it at 24 VDC. They run for about 30 sec. & seize up for some reason. So I would not suggest trying run them on much more than 12 VDC.

Unfortunately, this is not a "jump-start" device, and does not store power. It only converts 120 VAC to 12VDC. You need a 120 VAC outlet in order for it to be of any use.

I think that is a more sophisticated question as batteries labeled 12v DC have actually both higher and lower voltage. You need to consult someone else. The intention of this machine is not to have uninterruptable DC but rather to supply AC from the outlet or from inverting 12v DC batteries back to DC. I run nothing else off those batteries. You should consult the technical division of Tripp Lite

I would guess the answer to be "yes", providing the compressor in the unit fits within the parameters of the battery output. The surge (the required kick-over amperage) is key, but once running, these batteries should be able to sustain the function of the compressor depending (again) its running demand. I assume you would be using a 1250 watt (or more) inverter to convert the DC to AC but at this point I am guessing what your requirements are.

Mine, does not have a switching powers supply it input is only 110-127v, so I 12volt power supply that can handle 220 would be needed.

No, because it doesn't store power, it just converts 12 volt (auto) to either 5 volt (USB) or 120 volt (household).

This is not a battery, so does need a 12v power source to convert DC power to AC. You could use a 12v lead acid cell to make it portable I guess but then it would be quite heavy and a messy solution. Why not just get a jump starter emergency power source which is all in one neat package. With battery and inverter to AC all in one neat package. How long it lasts will depend on what you are plugging into it. No hair dryers LOL.

I used this power supply for 12V LED path lights with an AC to DC converter module from superbrightleds.com to convert the AC output to DC. Worked well.

I agree with the previous answer. This is for charging 12 volt DC batteries with up to 10 amps from your panels. What you then power off those batteries with or without an inverter depends on your power needs and the size of your battery bank.
