sax Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Hello Starspirit, After only a short trial I have plumped for the 12v option. My adapter can be set to anywhere between 12v and just upwards of 20v. This made sense to me instead of an inverter which in my equipment's case involves converting 12v up to 230/240v and then bringing it down to 16v. As a wild camper when possible I think it is much kinder on the battery. Regards, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest starspirit Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Thanks Mike, that's kinda my feeling too, although I do wonder about also using an inverter for other things whereas the 12v thingy is a single purpose device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
