Anyone hardwire this to a 12v battery directly?

I use mine with the converter. It should be ok to wire it to a 12 VDC battery BUT be sure to put an in-line fuse rated slightly higher than the input current shown on the amplifier label sticker. Car batteries can provide dangerous levels of current to a short circuit.

yes, 12 volt lead acid battery is fine. Observe polarity and fuse it with a 3 AMP fuse close to the battery.

I have not done so, but with the proper wiring it could be accomplished quite easily.

No hardwiring necessary. Battery operated units sync with themselves once you've initiated operation (simple process, just follow instructions).

No, connect it to your 12v Battery that powers your invertor. I use this on mine it works amazing!

You can do that. However, please understand that there will be voltage drop along the wire and you may not get 12V to the converter. How much voltage drop it will be depends on the length and quality of the wire, also the power consumption.

I hardwired these to a regular switch by putting a regular switch inbetween the 12volt adapter and the LEDs.

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.

You can do this but it will take a long time to fully charge. With only one generator, you will get about 0.1 amp into your 12V battery.

No problem at all. Just connect 2 or more 12v batteries in parallel. I use 4 x 12v batteries.

A 12V battery is too powerful. You need around 3V, or you could add a resistor in series with the 12V one.

I bought a 120W amp as well and at the same time. One had the 12V attachment and one didn't. Not sure which was which at this time. its a basic and simple connection on the back and something that works can be picked up from Radio Shack. I have not tried it to a 12V battery but I'm pretty certain it will work as the electronics in the amp are also created for this purpose. Hope this helps.

I bought a kit that had it in the power lead. I would recommend it since it is connect directly to the battery

You won't want to connect the panel directly to a battery, as it could damage or overcharge it. The panel itself only provides a voltage, you need a charge controller between the panel and the battery. The one I used (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001HWQZNQ/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) is not currently available, but should give you an idea of what to look for. You want a controller that can handle at least 30 watts and 17.5 volts input for charging 12v batteries.

The output of 3 volt can be done but I am not sure about 12V I would need to do a test. Will keep you posted.

Yes. It very easy to do its on the red battery wire. Anuther good the is the controller has a 12 volt option. With a 12v batterie it will hold a charge all deer season long with out a solor panel

Just run the wires down to a 12v power source and connect them using solder or proper wire connectors.

If you have a gas and one 12v battery just hook it up directly to the battery

No, unless you plan to supply it 12 volts DC, you will need to buy a convertor that should be available on Amazon
