Can this be used with a standard 12 V car battery or what type would I need to get? Thank you

Yes, any 12 volt car battery will work. I prefer using a deep cycle battery.

Yes, this past summer I used an old 12 volt car battery, but the system was turned on for about 10 hours at night-time only. For my situation, I simply charged the battery once a week. It worked fine, but a deep cycle battery would be preferred to avoid the need for frequent charging.

yes it can be used with a 12 volt car battery. I use a rechargeable wheel chair battery and it works great

Yeah, it can be used with a 12 V car battery. They recommend a deep cycle marine battery. I think the only difference is that it lasts longer and takes more charges.

It's pretty straight forward just keep in mind that you should use at least 10 gauge wires to connect unit to 12v battery,if you use wire less than that you could have a problem as with any of these units.

The answer is Yes and No. Any 12 volt charger will charge it, but must have the right size "Spade Lug" connectors to mate with the battery terminals. Or have an "adaptor cable" to convert the typical 12 volt charger cable connector to the battery lugs. Be careful to use a low current charger adaptor, not a car battery charger.

I use a heavy duty car battery with my 12v power inverter and so far it has keep the battery charged.I am very happy with mine.

hi there, a normal 12 volt battery or power supply will be just fine. that's the regular power for these units. thanks from Maple Leaf Gps

It requires 12volts DC. Doesn't matter what size the battery is. It's the voltage that counts.

This unit will work on any 12V lead acid type battery no matyter what it is in/on. If you don't drive the car often just hook up the alligator clips. If you store it get the cord that will tie to the battery and run it out under the hood of car and simply unplug when you want to drive the car.

I've got 3 12V (that charged show 13-14V) batteries in my truck. I guess it will work. Is as good as the one the dealer sells for almost $600.00 it does the same.

Any size 12 Volt battery. If weight is a problem, use a motorcycle or small engine 12 volt.

A 12V battery is too powerful. You need around 3V, or you could add a resistor in series with the 12V one.

Car batteries can supply up to 700+ cranking amps, but that is not the point. This device is going to use 5amps at 12 Volts. So you can hook it up via the cig lighter or wire direct. But I agree, this should have came with some documentation. It came with no specs or directions.

Yes it most assuredly work with any 12v battery, as it is just a wireless switch. I have used them for years, especially on equipment that I have a hard time getting to. I hope that this answers your question.Mike

Yes you can use a converter 12 v.I have a bank of batteries and a converter 12 v., 1200 wat and works perfectly. Consumes about 300 wat

Should work with any 12v +/- setup. You will most likely have to splice the wires so make sure you either solder those really well or use some sort of electrical connector and tape.

depends on what you're using it for I was using it for motorcycle applications and a 12 volt battery that runs the motorcycle work fine as long as you're using 12 volt DC power it will work

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

To me 12V is 12V; therefore it should be interchangeable. Your question should be the size and the availability of the ventilation outlet. I believe Amazon sold the Prius battery also which I bought one for myself.
