Can I put a 12v battery in this car?

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

A car battery is 12v. It's saying you need a car with a battery. Pretty simple

You would need to put two 6 volt batteries in series (make it 12 volts). Not enough info ?? eg: is this automotive type battery etc. As is not made to charge 6 volt battery.

I put my PC1200 in a 1966 VW bug. Not the same application. If you want the battery, just about anything can be done with a little thought behind it.

you need an external 12 volt battery. I have used my car's battery and also my fish house batteries.

Driving it directly from the 12V in my car works fine. I assume a boat would be similar.

I am not positive but sounds like 12V means you should purchase this 12V battery.

Absolutely, if you wire up the appropriate 12V battery with the current capacity you need for the target runtime. It would be a relatively trivial hack to do if you want to, but is it designed to do so? No.

That is correct, 12v is required. You will also need space for the battery fairly close to the motor mount. Original leads from the motor are about 4'

I don't believe you have the adaptor to plug this 18v device directly into your 12v car. You "could" purchase a small voltage converter that puts out 120volt AC voltage, plug that in and then plug the radio into the converter

Yes or you could use other 12v socket in the car, it's actually better than hooking up to power directly ..when you turn of the car it turns of the monitor.

A 12volt car battery will work. But most people including me, use a deep cycle marine battery. It lasts longer per charge.

A battery is a battery and voltage is voltage. If the machine will run from 12V DC there is no reason you couldn't use it. I would have to imagine there are better solutions for that though.

No. You will need to find a aux wire that is switched on and off by the key. Or you could install a relay wired to a switched power source and wire it directly to the battery or use a switch if you wire it directly to the battery, be sure to use a fuse for these last two options.

Depends on what your installing it in... For a car you will have to extend the wires to reach an open area in your fuse box in which you can get power and ground run. Otherwise tie it into your existing 12v outlet because that unit is already fused. Or run it directly to your battery but make sure you have a 10-20 amp fuse in-line somewhere accessible. A volt meter and/or 12v light probe is a must for this installation. If you don't feel your qualified then have someone you trust or a mechanic do it.

none. you have to connect the supplied plug to the 12 volts battery of your car.

If your car's 12V outlet works with the engine off it will. If you're going to be doing this for too long I would recommend againt it or you will end up with a dead battery.
