I want this to run a picture frame that shows a lot of pictures one after another at craft shows. I would be using it on a 12 volt car battery

I use mine with a Marine deep cycle car battery to power lights and a tablet as a portfolio at an art fair, so yes it'll do the trick.

It will run for a few hours before you need to recharge the battery depending on the size of battery you use. You can get a 110 ah deep cell battery from walmart about $80

12 volt DC 500 ma or higher ( I use a multi output power supply that powers up to 16 cameras mostly)

I didn't make any serious measurement but battery power is enough to make around 200 pictures without problem - at least this is what I have experience. A little bit less when you want to make some movies.

Although I personally haven't done it, I've seen people use large emergency car battery chargers to power flashes. They're basically a deep cycle 12 volt car battery with an 120 VAC inverter (they usually come with jumper cables, a light, and sometimes an air pump). The bigger ones can power 2-3 lights for quite some time. Depending on your power needs you could probably make it through a photoshoot with a couple of those. They run about $120...and WAY WAY quieter than a generator.

I need it to run the computer while I use it. the internal battery goes dead quickly (less than 1 hr) while using unplugged. Need it to power computer in use for 3 hrs using multiple applications.

I ran a small 400 watt inverter off of this unit to operate a laptop computer up on the dash of my motorhome while underway. Worked fine but the key of course is having it on a properly fused 12 volt circuit matched to whatever device your trying to run. This unit has a 15 amp limit. Use it improperly and I'm sure it would burn up.

This has a fair chance of running those lights, but keep in mind this is a battery with a limited supply of power. The battery is rated as "26 amp-hour" hinting it'll give you 1 amp at 12V for 26 hours, or 2 amps for 13 hours, etc, so for it to last 10 hours means you can't use over ~2.5 amps. When running things off the inverter, the overall power used is about the same but the 12V gets changed into 120V and the amps get changed from 2.5 amps to 0.25. I just tried a string of 26 LEDs (with the 1-2 inch cone on each) that shows 0.04 amp draw, so I could only put 5-6 of those together if expecting 10 hours. You may need to check yours to be sure of what yours needs since they may be different (I used the "kill-a-watt" meter to measure mine that you may want to consider getting to see exactly what yours use).

I'm using it for that purpose on my old Subaru. It comes with a small charge regulator to properly charge 12 volt batteries.

for use in 12 volt app I would stay below 10 amps note the small feeder wires I use this for several draw devices

It's runs on 120 volts, car is 12 volts DC. you might be able to run it off an inverter but it would have to be large enough to handle the amp draw.

Any 12-volt deep cycle will do but don't get one of those skinny ones. The ones you want are roughly the size of a car battery. I'll try to check the brand of mine and update this, it's worked for 4-5 weekends a year for almost 10 years now

Certainly. I use mine to charge 4, 6-volt golf cart batteries that are run in series.

Hi, May. I looked on the AC adapter and it says that it's for 120-240v, so you would be safe using it. It's a wonderful frame. I use it to display our boys' artwork and pictures of them holding it. It has a wonderful timer feature to schedule on/of times.

The unit will work fine with12VDC and 500mA. If you are using it in a automobile, you should be fine. If you are using it in a house I suggest you buy a power supply designed for surveillance cameras. You are wasting energy if you do anymore that what I suggest.

I think this unit would be a little small for a car battery, but I'm not sure.Box states that it works with motorcycles, personal water crafts, ATV's, snowmobiles and tractors.Hope this helps!

Yes it will I would wire your panels in series for 24 volts to the controller for best results and you bankroll have a 12v battery bank

Yes, If you're running it on 12 volts it draws 2.24 amps so it should work.
