Hi,
I just bought a wireless transmitter and receiver set - they work great when plugged into the wall outlet. However, I would like to use them in the field on a battery. They each take 12 volt on a 2.1mm plug. They are no-name Chinese, so there's not much in the way of documentation or support.
My question is - can I use a regular 12 volt consumer battery? For example, I have a battery to jump my car which claims to be 12 volt. Also, I have a few batteries that have 5 and 12 volt outputs. But these are not professional batteries. I imagine the wireless system that I have is quite complicated and I wonder if any voltage variation that comes with a consumer battery might mess up the electronics?
Anyone have any thoughts or guidance about this? Anything I should look in terms of purchasing a battery for this application?
Many thanks for any input.
Best,
Evan
