Can this 12 volt dc socket and dual USB charger be connected directly to a 12 volt battery?

That is how I hooked mine up. I run an ARB fridge off the socket and the USB ports are for my daughters electronics.

Yes, I installed it in a sail catamaran and it is working very well. 12V DC is all it takes with a fuse or breaker for best practice. I ran it through a breaker protected circuit.

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.

Yes, this battery can accept from 12V to 19V DC power for charging. If you have a solar panel with output voltage 12V ~ 19V, you can use it to recharge this battery. The charge port connector size is 5.5x2.1mm.Best regards.

Absolutely Not! Only the supplied battery pack 7.2 volts and its charger with a current of 140 mA supplied by a Yaesu AC adapter supplying 12 volts. Do not transmit using a discharged battery and relying only on the current of charger as the only source of power. Roger? Over and out.

I believe the short answer wouild be no. First they are not likely to physically fit your 12 volt model and second, putting the wrong power rated batteries in your device would likely damage it. Finally the charger that came with you 12 volt model "may" not have the capacity to recharge 14.4 volt batteries. Your much better off to use the batteries the manufacture calls for. Good luck.

The unit is supplied with a transformer that has an output of 12 volts DC. It does not come packaged with a power adapter for direct 12 volt DC hookup, but you could easily make one. The plug would be the same as the one on the transformer output with the other end being a cigarette lighter automobile type connection or whatever other connection to the 12 volt source you would be using. I do not see any reference to a 12 volt connection in the owners manual, but I see no reason why it could not be done. Just be sure you connect it with the correct 12 volt DC polarity. Or do what the other commentor said. Get an inverter.

I have a central switch that provides 12 V DC. This is the only it'll work.

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.

You would have to put 4 batteries in series and all would have to be in about the same condition--not an optimal method. you would be better off putting two 6 volt batteries in series on a 12V charger

Hi Gary, Yes. The charger has four leads and can charge 2 12V. Batteries at once. It's working great for me.

If you are asking "can I use this to power a battery charger" the answer depends on what the charger needs for power. There should be a label somewhere on the charger listing volts and amps. If the label lists 12VDC and no more than 1 Amp or 1000 ma then this power supply will work. If you are asking"will this work for my 12V battery charger" the answer is no. You need a power supply rated at 14.5V to charge a 12V lead acid battery.

NEVER use a 12V charger on a 6V battery. You could fry either the battery or the charger. You can cause the battery to leak or explode.

Instapark's website states that the 12 volt outlet can be used for charging 12 volt batteries. I haven't personally tried it so I cannot speak from experience.

Yes, the newest version of these charges support charging both 12v/16V LiPo batteries. Just make sure you have the mode selected (its the blue icons on the front of the charger)

I would not use a 6v charger on a 12 volt battery (assuming you have a 12v battery, or why else would you ask?). The 6v battery tender charger will not even cycle on unless the battery voltage drops below a certain point, well below what you would need in your car.

This is just a 12V battery (it's not a "charger" with a switch for that selection). I'd only connect it to another 12v battery/system.

This charger can accommodate two 12v battery's, 24v total. Sounds like all you need is a single 12v charger.
