Hi folks! I am looking to power my ST402ME from a battery using a home-made DC power cable. I am wondering that what sort of input voltage tolerance does this device have? Can it handle voltage from the battery directly? Or does it need a regulator? (Depending on charge level battery voltage may fluctuate, etc.) If anyone has the voltage tolerance for the DC input for the camera, that would be much appreciated. Thanks and clear skies, Leve
You can feed it 12V directly from a battery; the camera has internal switching regulators. In fact we sell a cable for that very purpose - https://www.sbig.com/products/accessories/12vdc-battery-cable/
