1 Typical battery life? Does mod affect this?2 What is volt output of AC/DC cord?3. Can it run on 12V?

Seems I made a mistake in my initial answer, and can't seem to edit my response, or comment on it. The crane has a label stating the power required us 3-6v at 100ma. The supplied adaptor is 5v at 100 ma. The 12v adapter was for my internet radio. Sorry for the confusion.

I never run it on batteries, mine is plugged in at all times. The supplied power supply is 5 Volts at 100 mili-Amps. I suppose you could power it from a USB power supply provided you could connect with the correct connector.

I don't know about battery life as I've only used it with the AC adaptor. There is a sticker on the back of the unit which says: 12v = 600ma. I assume that must be the voltage and current required to power the unit. That matches the rated output of the adaptor.

I never ran it on a battery just a 3 to 6 Volt DC power device like for use with a cell phone. No you should not use a 12 Volt power supply. As a side note, I no longer use the product because range was very limited 10 ft. or so. I've since switch to a Bluetooth replacement with about 30 ft. range.

I'm going to assume it's a standard 120v television, so you will have to power an inverter to get the 12v DC up to 120v AC. You have some loss in that process. The basic math is battery voltage x battery Ah so 12x35=420 wh. watt hours. That will run 420 watts for 1 hour, 210 watts for 2 hours etc. In theory. But you never want to drain your batteries below a certain point. I've been warned not to discharge batteries more than 50%. Plus the loss from the inverter, lines etc. You would be looking at 6 batteries just for this simple math not even taking into account the discharge factor. If I'm wrong on any of this someone please point it out.

it will work when plugged into ac voltage should work when plugged into dc using the dc charger,I think I would want to be close to home until I new what the drag on the dc battery was

This unit does not run on battery. This unit runs on the included AC-DC power cord.

could you please check and tell me what's the rating for the external DC supply ? Vdc ? and current rating (mA)?appreciate your help.thx

This works with optional battery (purchased separately) for 90 min. It can work up to 12 straight hours on AC power. Just plug it in & run for 12 hrs.

Its just a 12v setup. u can wire it to your battery and it will only use power when you have it on. it doesn't use much my customers love them you'll be fine its just a 12v setup. hope this helped

No it does not come with a 12v DC cord, but a visit to Radio Shack or any electronic part shop can fix that

Just wanted you to know that the wiring on this thing is backward, at least as far as the DC part is concerned. I don't use the AC part. In other words, it only works when you hook your DC input (battery) to the output side, and your output to the side marked "battery." The printed instructions that came with this item is wrong. If you hook it up according to the manual, it will not work.

DC 6V 800mA is what it says on the side of the device that it needs,.. Ive personal never used it on my current one. My friend who had used this when it came our ten years ago had the cord and used it all the time. The machine would get hot if you used it for to long. So keep this in mine. (We are talking like a hours at a time.) I just use this for 15 or 30 minute uses with a battery though.

so far it doesnt seem to matter/ i ran it on 12 and 24 volts dc>but i have NOT tried IT ON AC?

It runs fine off a 12v battery. A 2.5x5.5mm plug and cord is included with the unit that plugs into the fan housing. There is no connector on the other end of the cord (all you get is bare + & - wires) but once connected the fan runs at about ~0.6 watts of power max on a 12v battery drawing ~0.05 amps. It would use less that 15 watt hours or just over 1 amp hour of power per day running 24x7. I plug it into my 12v Goal Zero Yeti power pack which charges from a solar panel and it works fine!

I look at for use down the road. Batteries are a big cost. 20 volts are running $50. That ismore than I payed for the cord drill and it will last longer than the battery life. Plus, yes, there is more power than a battery powered drill. I did also pick up the 12v drill. the batteries cost half as much.You would have the portability w/t 12v and the power when needed w/t corded version. Then,after ten years when you can't buy the batteries any more you still have the cord version to use with all the attachments that you purchased. Just my thoughts.

It comes with 4 different proprietary plug modules that connect to its power supply -- US flat-blade type, Europlug round-pin type, UK 13amp type, and Australian 45deg flat blade type. It works on 115 to 230 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz. It also can run on batteries (4x AA), although if the sound is on all night batteries will be depleted fairly fast. When I travel I run it on batteries most of the time, plugging it in overnight whenever I have the background sounds turned on. That way the batteries last for weeks.

Takes 9v battery, mine's going over a year old, moderate use. I would say at this rate battery life would not concern me.
