“Safe” 12VDC power for WE826
Posted: Mon Dec 16, 2019 7:25 am
I plan on using my WE826 as part of a security camera system for a remote construction site. It will be powered by a 12V 55Ah GEL battery and solar panel.
My concern is the voltage range on this system ranges from 11.7 - 14.5 volts based on the charge profile.
I know this router is used by RV’ers so there must be a cigarette lighter adapter/cord available to use in place of the 110VAC power adapter.
I could just cut the 110V plug and use the raw cable and connector to wire the router to the 12VDC source but is it safe to do so? I don’t want to damage the input circuit due to voltage fluctuations.
Does anyone know if the WE826 can deal with this voltage range? If not, is there some sort of power cord available that has the proper circuitry/protection built in?
