Paul Roberson Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Here are the power supplies I use.I have no experience with batteries running LOR DC boards. I would think it would work. Although I would be concerned about changing the battery while in use on the DC board. I would think the charger would introduce lots of noise into the system. BUT like I said I really have no idea.

Max-Paul Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Yes, can be used from an cars battery. Min voltage I think is 9VDC to max of 60VDC. I think you can go lower but you have to still have min of 9VDC for the brains of the card. I am going to defer you to the manual for more details.

Joe Rayburn Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 First, Thanks for the information. The manual says it can be used to powerVehicle lighting (Bike, Car, Boat, etc.) I assumed that it would work from the vehicle electrial system . I don't know about interference .I also wanted to know what power supply could be used when it was used at home,not on a vehicle. Thanks to all for the information. PS. I usually do a parade or two and thought I could decorate the tow vehicle also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
