If I need to run 12v DC as well , I just have to connect the equipment to the battery right?If AC not available ,battery will deliver 12vDC+ inverter?

I think that is a more sophisticated question as batteries labeled 12v DC have actually both higher and lower voltage. You need to consult someone else. The intention of this machine is not to have uninterruptable DC but rather to supply AC from the outlet or from inverting 12v DC batteries back to DC. I run nothing else off those batteries. You should consult the technical division of Tripp Lite

The APS1250 will support 12V DC or 120V AC input; and 120V AC output. So if you have 12V DC batteries on the input and are not planning to support any more than 1250 watts continuous, this should work for you.

2x 110 volt plugs on the front of the inverter, just plug in a power strip and the inverter is ready to supply power from batteries (I have 2 x105 amp hrs hooked in parallel for a 210 amp hour 12 volt bank). Green lights on the front of the inverter tell you the batteries are fully charged). Highly recommended equitment

In theory you can, but its not recommended and the NEC wouldn't approve. If you want to connect a 12 V battery to an inverter (to make it act as a power source) then look for an off-grid power inverter instead. They can come in 12V, 24V, 48V configurations.

Other than a solar panel(s), you will need a charge controller, battery bank and an AC inverter. If you can run your lights and electronics on DC battery power, then an inverter would not be needed. Misc. wiring, fuses and battery disconnect would also be needed. Web sources like &lt;homepower.com&gt; would be great sources of information on setting up a small system.

This unit is DC powered, so I'm assuming you are referring to a DC powered system where you are wiring directly to a 12V DC power source... try it!

No, unless you plan to supply it 12 volts DC, you will need to buy a convertor that should be available on Amazon

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.

The only right answer to your question is, "it depends", because it depends on how much current you need to provide and for how long @ 120V AC.Since you are running a 12VDC input and a 120VAC ouput, you need about 10 times the current on the 12v side as you want out of the 120V side.Additionally, you need to have an understanding of Amp Hours capacity of the battery(s) used to provide the power to understand how long it(they) can provide the power needed.

yes to the computer question......don't know about the 12 volts maybe with a inverter.

Hello JD, I am assuming this is being set up on an RV of some sort, so yes you need to set up as a 12V system. No doubt 12V is the input required by your inverter. The voltage set up is determined by what is being run off the batteries. Hope this helps.

Yes, it requires 12 DC to operate. I have it connected to the 12 volt source through one of my console switches.

The inverter is designed and supported to be connected to a 12 volt battery. You can use the solar panel to recharge the battery while the inverter is in use.

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.

inverters put out 120 VAC. I'm not sure what you are asking, it you are trying to power a 19 volt or a 24 volt device you don't need an inverter as it will be way over-voltaged. The inverter converts 12 VDC to 120 VAC.

The unit is supplied with a transformer that has an output of 12 volts DC. It does not come packaged with a power adapter for direct 12 volt DC hookup, but you could easily make one. The plug would be the same as the one on the transformer output with the other end being a cigarette lighter automobile type connection or whatever other connection to the 12 volt source you would be using. I do not see any reference to a 12 volt connection in the owners manual, but I see no reason why it could not be done. Just be sure you connect it with the correct 12 volt DC polarity. Or do what the other commentor said. Get an inverter.

The inverter requires a 12v source it does not have a rechargeable battery in it. You could bring along a 12v battery and use that as a power source, but pulling 1200 watts from a battery is 100 amps, so it would drain a smaller sized battery in minutes if not less.

The external power supply is AC --> DC 12V@200mASo, yes, you could take a small 12vdc battery that has an out of about 200mA and power this unit. If you did use a 12vdc battery you could charge/recharge the battery with a small solar panel that you could purchase for about $20.For Reference: http://www.emtcompany.com/x10-xm14a-ac-power-supply-charger-adapter/101334292.html

Sorry Kathy W. I just now found the notice of your question. I hope you got the help you needed, however since winter will be coming back around again I chose to give my answer just in case it might be of help. In short... No...However if you are talking about a good vehicle battery it is possible to use an inverter (DC-12V to AC-110V) I would not recommend a cheap one though, so it would be an investment but is very useful to run most household devices, i.e. toaster, lamp, laptop....I wish you well.
