Need to power an old TV from the 60s for 2-3 minutes at a time in remote locations away from wall outlets. Some locations include forest, the street, suspended in the air, etc. A generator is thus not going to be suitable.
TV is analogue and will only be showing static. TV runs 12V @ 12W. What is the best way to rig a battery system to run this?
>12V 12W
either that's wrong or you can't figure out how to power something that requires the easiest DC voltage to find at only 1A

Station bumpers.
>> you can't figure out how to power something that requires the easiest DC voltage to find at only 1A
Correct. Help?
>Correct. Help?
try a battery butthole
I don't think you're understanding. I do not know
1. What kind of battery to use
2. How many Ah I need
3. Whether I need additional equipment or need to take anything special into account.
4. How to connect a standard wall plug AU plug to the battery.
I would like a non-destructive method.
TV has two modes. Mode 1 is 240V @ 12W. Mode 2 is 12V @ 12W. TV is 50Hz.
Would one of those USB charging bricks work? If so, how do I connect that to the TV without rewiring the TV. Is there such a thing as an AU wall plug to USB cable?
>2. How many Ah I need
You've already said your tv draws 1 amp. It would then stand to reason that if you wanted it to run for 1 hour, you would need a 1ah battery. It then follows that if you want it to only run for half as long, or 1/4 as long, you would need 1/2 or 1/4 that capacity.
How long are you going to keep humping my leg over this? Do I have to come over and build it for you, too?
>1. What kind of battery to use
A big car or (if you can find one ) truck battery
>2. How many Ah I need
A big car or truck battery will be plenty. I used to run an old Motorola "portable" from a 700 watt inverter for as long as I wanted, using an old Varta truck battery.
>3. Whether I need additional equipment or need to take anything special into account.
Since you are listing this as being a DC telly, you should just need appropriate terminals for the battery and then a plug for the set.
>4. How to connect a standard wall plug AU plug to the battery.
If it's a 12vdc it should not be using a standard wall outlet plug. Sounds like you don't have the DC plug, so you'll need to make a set of leads to tap onto the receptacle in the back of the set.

You're not gonna power it at 12v from the wall outlet, it probably has a different connector on the back. They were meant to be powered by a car lighter plug
Most sensible answer. Take apart a cheap car charger and screw the 12v plug from the TV. Then just run however long you need from your car to the TV.
Assuming you don't have to lug the fricking thing deep innawoods. In which case lol id be more worried about that
If you use the 240VAC mode you can use a 100-240VAC power bank to power it for that amount of time easy. The other benefit is you can use the power bank to run other things like lighting in remote locations too in needed. The only real drawback is that it will cost a bit more than other options. Post spooky movie when done.
A lot of jumper bricks or the larger lead acid jumper boxes have 12V outlets on them to make it even easier to connect if the TV uses the lighter plug.
Most of the little bricks are higher current but lower capacity, so look at the Wh rating on them, and if your TV is 12V/1A, that’s 12W, so a 60Wh pack should run the TV around 5 hours.
Literally any 12V lead acid battery including small lawnmower batteries if it’s only 1A for a few minutes. 3x 18650s in series. A jumper brick for a car. 6x any alkaline batteries like AA or C cells in series. 12V power tool batteries.
Or my favorite, a 12V car battery with a 1000W 120V inverter, then find an old laptop or even cable box power cord brick thing that is 12V and at least 1A and plug it into the inverter.
I am painfully curious about what you will be doing with this kind of thing
Do it in post the screen will look weird recorded
Didnt read moronic thread
Put a flat screen in the box with a rounded lense for effect and a battery pack
this question could easily be answered by a google search you dumb homosexual. please have a nice day
>What is the best way to rig a battery system to run this?
I know, but won't tell you.
Get a Halo Bolt jumper battery and plug that shit in. I use one for powering old VHS cameras that don't recognize their batteries anymore.
