Can I run this computer in a car with car battery as power source?

if you have a standard power invertor that you can get anywhere in the $20-$40 range

Normally yes, but you can use a battery when you use it on your computer (if your power socket is to for example)

It is charged via usb so I don't see why not but I wouldn't drain my car battery to charge it.

I think it would work just fine for the amount of power it would draw. Although you stated that it is a 12 volt system so you could run it directly from a battery unless you wanted to use an AC to Dc adapter.

No power source is required.use the included usb cable to connect the hard drive to the computer.

Sure. The power input is just a cable with cigarette lighter on the car-supply end, and medium size coaxial DC plug on at the device. You could easily cut or remove the cigarette plug and wire to a fused *12 Volt DC * power source in the vehicle

I honestly wouldn't. It would take a lot of the battery from the car. And/or not get enough to run the system properly which I'll cause shortages soon after or start to run hot because it's pushing itself harder. To go on the safe route go to a truck stop and get a car port that is a wall adapter. I would think you would be ok for the simple fact that it's a portable gaming device but at the same time. If I was meant for a car it would of came with a car charger. Good luck

I have never tried that. I do not think it could start your car. Maybe slow charge your existing battery if needed.

No, its not really designed for use in a car unless youre connecting it to a laptop.

I don't know. I don't have a car battery connector and haven't tried, sorry. Maybe another person can answer it. I would think if you get the correct power cord you should be able to.

Sure you can but IMO it would take double time as the computer USB should have half the output than the car or electricity net connection.

yes you do unless you provide other 12 volt power such as plugging a jumper battery into the cigarette lighter. if not the cars computer will re learn and you must re set your radio stations.

Yes but you will need a power supply such as cigarette lighter plug for the car or A/C plug with an appropriate voltage for the house plus. For the car plug you don't need it because it has the right 12v that is needed.

It does not mention a battery in the features list so my guess is no. If you want portable touch screen, look at "slate" PC's. If you are thinking of using it in the car get an inverter.

No, the car is wired for a 6V battery. A 12V battery could cause wiring problems.

You could, but id does run an LED display and a fan. So it will drain you battery eventually without some kind of charger on it.

I can't see why not either. While driving, this gadget and the car's battery are both being charged by the car's system, which has many times the necessary output to run everything all by itself. You wouldn't want to use the inverter when you were charging the battery from the wall charger, but there's no reason to try that in the first place.
