I need to run this in the field on 12v battery. Is the 12v only for their adapter or can this be powered by 12v batteries?

Mine runs on the 12V system in my tour boat. You just attach the right size terminals to the positive and negative wires for the 12V plug, and attach them to the + and - terminals of your 12v battery, or better yet, to + and - bus bars that are attached to your battery. I've liked this amp so far. Good luck.

It runs on batteries. You can plug in a 12V power source of your choosing. I use a universal power adapter that came with several plugs and found one that fits nicely.

Just a standard 12v adapter. You can use any 12v Power supply. I used one from an old cable modem. Most 12v plugs use the same male connector.

I use it on my boat but jumper the batteries in parallel to 12v. But it is a 24volt series system, I asked Amazon like you if I could use it on a 24volt system and never got a response from anyone....So I did the parallel thing only to charge them.

Mine takes 3 AA batteries, so its a 4.5 volt system. I don't have an adapter because I don't use it inside. I love it because it's "portable." Great little radio. Picks up everything. I used it when hiking and camping on the Appalachian Trail. Just put 3 new AA batteries in it, and it will run for countless hours.

its designed to work on vehicles so runs on 12V , you can connect it to a car battery charger that you plug into a wall outlet

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

Yes it will run off the 12v cord. It's not good to run it completely dead. But if you do run it right dead , plug it in to the 12v for 10 mins or so before turning it on. Just so it has a bit of a charge when your using it. It will charge when using it with the 12v plug. These lights are bad a$$ bright! They hold a charge for ever. Go buy it now.

It comes with no power adapter. I use a 12v lipo. Any 12volt dc source will work.

It only runs on 12Volts, you can pusrchase an Schumacher PC-6 120AC to 6A 12V DC Power Converter

Battery only. Not sure off-hand if an adaptor can be used. Have to look at it at work. Specs should indicate if it can.

Since it connects directly to 12V battery, it must only be 12V- I guess if you have a 110-12 voltage reducer? Good luck.

12V/20V only. Worth it though. Makes working in the extreme cold comfortable.

Yes it will run off any 12v system with a small battery you wont have as much run time as you would a deep cycle or automotive battery , but I am sure it would last all weekend if thats the only thing running off of it ... run a in line fuse of the red wire " positive " & run it how you would like from there .mine has wire coming off the fuse link so I put a eye style connector of that to the battery post .

I never ran it on a battery just a 3 to 6 Volt DC power device like for use with a cell phone. No you should not use a 12 Volt power supply. As a side note, I no longer use the product because range was very limited 10 ft. or so. I've since switch to a Bluetooth replacement with about 30 ft. range.

As long as it is 12volts and provides the required amps, which is stated in sellars description. I use a car battery for mine when I camp. Works fine.

I run it on the battery. The instructions that came with it said it is better to run off battery rather than run on the power adapter, although that does work too. Just used it in a small gig today and it worked great on the battery.
