Can this operate from 12v. battery, perhaps with 120 inverter -- or what does power this if there are no wires?

The machine is a plug into a regular outlet. There are no wires to the bed only water hoses and it is silent and very wonderfully comfortable.

It works on 120 volt A/C power without a battery. I understand you can add a battery as backup in case of power loss but I have not done so with mine. My unit has been in operation since August '13 without any problems, operating an 11-1/2 foot chain link gate. I love not having to rely on battery power.

No. This unit uses 18 and 20 volts on a multipin connector, you could use a small inverter in front of it to run from 12 volts.

It runs off of 12vdc. However, mine was used in an older karaoke machine and I wired it into a inverter that plugs into 120. You can probably find one on Amazon or at a local electronics shop.

Mine plugs into 110. Don't know about running on 12v. This one maybe a newer model than mine as mine is at least a year old.

all you need are the cables to connect the two terminals. battery will need a charging source at some point but inverter and battery alone will run until battery reaches 10.2 volts

The intended purpose of this device is to directly feed the power off the solar panel to this inverter with its 120 vacpower to the grid. If for any reason you come off the battery the voltage to the inverter must be at leastthe minimjm dc input voltage of the inverter, usually around 24 vdc. All in all I dont see the inverter workingoff the 12 volt battery.

Unit requires 12VDC to operate. Any off the shelf 12VDC power supply or wall adapter rated 500mA or greater should be capable of powering the unit.

Electrical; 110. Don't know if you were hoping for battery; it appears that it converts to 12-volt DC for actual operation, so maybe somebody really clever could modify it.

Hi Daniel: Mine got broken on first attempt to use it. It looks pretty neat, that's it. As far as I remember it, no, it does not have other way to power it. I think that the only way would be using somehow a 12v battery, or transforming 120v AC to 12v DC.

I do not have mine anymore but I do remember a power cord for it . I think it can run off 120 volts through a transformer .

Yep 12v hardwired. We connected ours to a marine battery for remote use in our huts that do not have electricity.

No wall plug without an inverter to get the voltage to 12 volts but you can wire it either directly to your battery or a cig charger. Just be sure to have a fuse in line

This is a power inverter. There is no battery in it. It is made to hook up to a 12 volt DC battery (car battery) using the clamps and it converts the DC power into AC power. You can then plug AC equipment (equipment usually plugged into you outlets at home)and operate them. It is portable, so you can take it anywhere; but you have to have a DC power source available to use it. You also have to be careful not to overload the unit. Make sure the equipment you want to operate (small tv, radio, hair dryer ...etc) doesn't draw more power than the inverter is capable of providing. Hope this helps. John This is a power inverter.

This unit works awesome! However, it operates on 110 VAC. Because it have a low wattage draw it may be possible to rig a 12 VDC battery to an AC power inverter. Even better would be two 12 VDC batts in parallel with an inverter and solar panel to keep them charged during an extended power outage.

No, this goes the other way (120V-&gt;12V). You need an inverter that goes from 12V-&gt;120V.
