Hello all, I have seen some 12v TVs on the bay of fleas and they say they are 240vAC/12vDC. Now they come with a 5amp transformer that goes to the ac mains, I messaged one of the sellers and they recon I could just hard wire it in with an inline fuse(not sure what size whould be best). I have a Type L85 leisure battery and will be running a propex(X1), headunit (DVD) and lights (3 Strip lights). So my questions are

A: can I wire this TV direct and discard the transformer
B:Will this drain the leisure battery pretty quick

Thanks in advance, Mark

Will it run at 14v is what you need to ask. A recently charged battery will be at 13.5v +.
Use a voltage stabilizer.

I just plug mine directly into a ciggie lighter socket. The plug came with the TV though

I did that with mine the only problem I have had is when the charger is on the les battery, then switch the charger off the sound goes off but thats the only problem!

Cheers guys,think I'll keep searching for a proper caravan/motorhome TV with the correct adapter. I only need a monitor as my headunit plays DVDs thanks again folks, Mark

tv will work fine but run it through a 12v-12v reg, rather than direct which could be from 10-11v to 14-15v,

Is there an echo in here?

I bought a Flat screen 17" LCD TV from e-buyer. they sell them "with adapter"
This means it's 12V.
Now I just removed the "adapter" (read transformer) kept the in-line 4A fuse and hard wired it in.. superb.

cost £160

kev,

that is exacly what I want to do...just bought a 15" for £45 .....ok its pink....but sure I can do sommat about that. Just gotta work out how to mount it now!

Watch the link not work.
This is what you want, the so called adaptors that cost aq few quid are no use, I have seen these a bit cheaper last year but how much is your equipment worth,
echo? what echo echo echo

also got a variable one 12-20volt so god for the laptop at 19v

not working.


I thought it's DC current that's important not the voltage my 12v bulbs get 13..14 v in the cabin they don't blow.

No kev some thing are fairly volt tollerant, lcd screens and laptops are not, yes they will stand a small fluctuation but not 2-3 volts, ,
your bulbs will run as low a voltage as will light them and as high until they blow (not tried it recently but guess 8-18volts) no doubt others on here with the time /knowledge will give more thorough advice.
