Re: 12v TV
They are designed for the voltage that is put out by the alternator - the televisions are not. I've cranked up the voltage on a car bulb to 25v whilst testing things and they don't blow - try that with your 12v tv!

Re: 12v TV

Re: 12v TV
Trouble is the components will not have the tolerance for sustained overvoltage and you will shorten their lifespan leading to problems later. You will cut the MTBF down from the manufacturers specs by 90% (guesstimate) - is it worth it for a couple of squids?kevtherev wrote:well the TV works a treat with 14.6v or 13.2v or 12v

Re: 12v TV
Kev,
thanks for the bracket info....hadn't thought of that.....but, this is going in the pop top!! So thInk I will go for a wall mounted bracket that allows the telly to fold away to the side.
Metalmicky - thanks for the link - I will have a look and see what I can manage!
Interesting thread as always

A recently charged battery will be 12.8v and then drop to 12.6v over 12 hours. A battery that is being charged by an alternator will show around 14.6 v
