Has anyone powered this off of a 14.4V battery? I'm wondering if I can get another dtap cable to power this, or if I need to get the 12v cable?

yup, i am powering mine with the 12V out of an ikan tilta 15mm rod mount with V battery adapter and it works perfect, charges and works flawlessly between changing the V mount batteries.

An unregulated dtap cable should work fine unless yours is a 12v only version for some reason. Mine shows 12-30v so it should work, but I haven't tried it yet. If you somehow have a 12v only version you can still get it to work with 14.4v if you get a regulated cable. Be sure to check that your dtap plug's inner diameter is correct. I've had a bit of trouble finding one that fits as BMD doesn't post the schematics. Good luck.

I'd like to use this inside my sailboat cabin. Seems I should be able to put a 12v adapter onto its plug in order to use with my marine battery. Does anybody know if this sounds feasible?

mine is in a motorhome hooked to the 1 of the 2 coach batteries ,the 2 are hooked together with cables from 1 to the other,the engine battery is separate from these,not sure if this is considered 24V or just 12V,has been used for 2 years like this,havent had a problem........

I've been running one for about a year now, no problems except I was using the load output to control some outside lighting (on at dusk, off at dawn) and it seemed to get confused and was turning the lights on and off randomly. I disconnected it and let it sit for a day and then reconnected it and it has been working correctly since. I am running a 100 WATT 12V panel into it, are you staying within the maximum input power and voltage levels (12v/260W or 24v/520W) specified?

Yes the APS2424 runs off of and charges a 24 volt battery supply, if you check AC output when on battery power you must use a true RMS meter or you'll get wrong reading

I wired mine with a 12 DC plug and it had power (red light) but would not come on. We had to return ours.

Yes you need a 12 volt power supply. I use computer power supply. If you know how to do this the power supply can be bought for 15 dollars. Youtube videos can show you how to do this

I use it on my boat but jumper the batteries in parallel to 12v. But it is a 24volt series system, I asked Amazon like you if I could use it on a 24volt system and never got a response from anyone....So I did the parallel thing only to charge them.

I spoke to tech support and they said that the 14 watts is product dependent, i.e. is the 14 watts from resistive source or inductive source. My LG HDTV draws 28.3 Watts but is on "the margin" and may or may not work. But there are 2 outlets that are always powered and do not turn off if the main source goes below threshold.Their Tech services department was every helpful and gave me a straight up answer.

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. The unit is supplied with a transformer that has an output of 12 volts DC.

You need to get a replacement powersupply rated at an output of DC 14v 4A with a 5.5mm o.d. 2.1mm id plug. - this is what came in the box, but a 12v 5A power supply with same plug will also work.

I just checked the monitor and its box but neither state how much amperage it consumes. Use the 12V@3A power supply. It should handle the monitor just fine.

14AWG should be handling up to 15A, I don't think this will be a good solution for that kind of amperage. I would suggest buying a single outlet extension wire for such purposes. I am not an expert, so please check some more

Mine is twenty four volt. I use it on two Samsung PTZ cameras. I could be wrong about this, but I think it might also have a 12v. terminal. It's been a year since I installed it.

has the 12v standard connectors found on all other security cameras etc. I had one, it quit in 2 weeks :(

Mine did not come with a power supply. I haven't tried 12v, but it works with a 9v battery.
