If you have an AC outlet in your vehicle you should be able to do it. I would recommend having the vehicle running, so as not to drain your battery. It only operates on AC.

I would not use it with the primary battery. This is a big unit for just a 6-pack. They make smaller units that should take less power or you could get a 2nd battery (and a trickle charger) and use off-grid

Sure you can wire it to between battery and load. To monitor the amp hours your using.

no need to upgrade battery. If your truck battery Voltage is between DC 10-30V, just connect the electric wire with your truck battery. Thanks ATC LC

Yes you can. Just attach the positive lead to the plus on the coil wire going to the distributor and neg to batt. It'll work

No just buy some heavy gauge wire for the power,and a little heavy gauge wire for the ground ,also get in-line fuse put it close to the pos.side to the battery.You'll need some speaker wires too but not much. ok thats about it.

It's pretty straight forward just keep in mind that you should use at least 10 gauge wires to connect unit to 12v battery,if you use wire less than that you could have a problem as with any of these units.

no, I have not run it off an external battery. It's an interesting question--especially for people who go camping.

Yes, just make sure to install the C-wire. Then, the batteries will just function as backup

This can be "hard wired" to an existing low voltage line. Considering if you can't of that there is no onstant battery draw its only for a couple of seconds.

It's pretty easy. You have a power conductor, ground, then your choice of speaker wire input or RCA line input. Typically the blue wire from your head unit would be for turning on your amp but this is not needed since this unit turns itself on and off by sensing signal input. Jason L. is right about not running your power directly to your battery. The instructions don't say you have to, so I didn't, it works just fine. #10 gauge wire not needed.

no, it needs to be wired directly to the battery with a 30 amp inline fuse added.

You will need a battery installed on front of trailer or some way to power and it would need to be quite heavy wire (cables) it you were to runn any distance to another battery....

You can hook direct off battery if that is easier for you, the small amp draw would be no drain on battery. Make sure you have a on/ off switch. It would be recommended to install a fusible link in the live wire, you can buy these links anywhere automotive acc are sold. Just a length of wire wirh a spot to insert say a 15 amp square fuse.

Anything is possible with zip ties and duct tape or if you are a redneck lol I use mine as a battery to run my truck radio all night when I go camping it always hooked up just found out my main battery was dead after unhooking it last week to power an inverter lol that little battery is amazing
