can it be connected to my electrical system eliminating the use of batteries?

I had my Harley dealer.wire mine into my headlight. It comes with the wire to connect. You could most likely do it yourself

It comes with a power adapter which can be wired into your headlight, so when you turn the key off, the GPS goes off also. The unit does have bluetooth and it does work. Screen is difficult to see during the day. The current handlebar mount is small for maybe a 7/8" bar. I bought a RAM mount and use that instead. Not a bad unit, $164 seems like a lot, search around, I got a customer return on ebay for $50. It works I am happy with it. When I have the funds I would most likely get the Garmin, but big difference of $164 and $650 or $700.

Yes, but it has an option for batteries. I suppose it is in case of power outage.

No. The advantage of this one is that it does not have to use batteries. Using the mains connection permits it to work at a much lesser weight.

I don't believe that you can. I always remove my batteries when not in use. It helps you locate it in the dark and uses very little power.

I'm sure it can, for the power output can be controlled from the recieving unit. By the way, it's a great system, works like a charm.

Not without it being plugged into a power inverter. They sell em at Radio Shack.:-)

you can connect it to an appliance only if the appliance uses the same voltage as the solar panel. The most complete system would include a controller the regulate the voltage from the solar panel, batteries to store the energy produced so you have energy when there is no sun, and an inverter to convert the energy from the direct current (AC) that the battery uses to alternating current (AC) that most small appliances use.

Considering batteries are DC energy...you should be able to make the necessary modifications to the hardware in order to expand on the input methods. Alternating Current(Household outlet); however, would be completely different. Requiring a relay of some kind.

No this is an AC device not a DC device. You would have to have a converter connected to the battery for that to be possible.

Yes it can. It comes with an AC Adapter. I usually keep mine plugged in. There are no batteries.

Yes, but do not mix batteries, only use this style if not it will ruin the unit

It will connect but you have to have another power source. Wish i had not ordered it.

Yes, BUT as with any solar panel, it should be connected with a Charge Controller. FYI, if you plan to run any significant use from your batteries, this solar panel would not keep up. You will most likely need at least a 60 watt panel or more.

There might be a way if you are a electrical prodigy- but I don't know how. It runs on batteries.

No. It only converts DC power into AC power. The batteryour is your electrical source.

Yes. Just be VERY careful disconnecting the existing unit as the connections are fragile.

Yes, you can wire it directly to it, but it will be better if you connect a relay.
