Can I use any 12V power supply with 5 amps capacity ?

Not certain but probably. I'm guessing the transformer that it requires is 40-50wattt, I'm sure 12v/5A is plenty good.

I doubt it, it has a proprietary connector. I wouldn't try that personally.

NO, be certain to use a good DC power supply. I use a 20 Amp supply and it works fine with this supply.

Yes. A good quality 800w power supply would be enough. Just make sure your psu delivers at least 70A on the 12V rail.

Yes, but I would suggest you have quality brand name power supply 550 watts or over.

Yes, but remember, the thing supplying the power must be a high power device as well. Meaning your 12V socket as well.

Yes, any 12VDC power source of 1.5A or more. I'm using one as a cordless portable work light powered with a 12V/4Ahr NiMh battery pack.

You can use any sized 12v supply but to reach full functionality you should use 320 watt (4 x 80w = 320 watt power supply) or larger. This will give you full 4 port x 80 watt charging.

Hi William: If you need stable 12V power, you may consider our BP160 battery, which has 12V and 5V USB port. However, BP160 5V USB port maximum output is only 1A. Best regards. BiXNet

Yes. With a 12v supply, use the onboard voltage regulator to supply the onboard 5v. There will be either a switch or jumper to use the onboard regulator. Don't supply over 16v volts with the regulator activated, or it will fry. Gooogle "L298 Users guide"

12 volt DC 500 ma or higher ( I use a multi output power supply that powers up to 16 cameras mostly)

Just a standard 12v adapter. You can use any 12v Power supply. I used one from an old cable modem. Most 12v plugs use the same male connector.

A computer power supply should work fine. Please be aware that a 500 Watt computer power supply is probably not rated to give you 500 Watts at 12 volts which is the only part of the supply that you will be useing. My X4-80 draws just under 26 amps with all 4 channels at the maximum setting of 6 Amps. That 312 watts, If your 12 volt tap is rated for more than that you will be fine. I use a 30 amp 12 volt power supply on mine.If seach " 12V 30A 360W Switching Power Supply for LED Strip Light by SUPERNIGHT " on Amazon you should be able to find it for about $30

Maybe. Find out if the regulator will overheat with a 12V input. Probably better to use a 5V supply.

I suggest you buy a converter which supports power at least 3 times larger than what you really need, this will make you less trouble. Thus for your PS, 500W seems good enough.

"Powered by DC 12V 500mA adaptor (not included)"So any 12v adapter, that provides 500ma (0.5a) or more will do.

any 12 volt dc power source i would use at least 1 ampWall Adapter Power Supply - 12VDC 1A

I've done this with other supplies in the past. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do it with these ones. You may run into issues if you plan on using the full current output. As they are in series and not parallel, you'll be able to get 5A Max, however, with two power supplies in series you are doubling your overall power supply internal resistance, so I'm not sure what this will do to your Max current output. Make sure to use the + and - outputs and not the chassis grounds. Using the chassis ground will effectively short one of your power supplies to earth ground. In fact, as a safety precaution check the continuity between the earth ground and the - channels. They should not be internally or externally shorted. If they are then it will not work.
