Connecting an outdoor Orbi to a car battery
Can I connect an outdoor Orbi to a deep cycle battery? The battery is similar to a car battery: 12v/ 75ah / 20 hour / max charge current 22.5A. I'd rather not connect an inverter to convert to AC, ...
That's what I thought [that the amps had to be the same], but from what I understand about electricity - which is very little - amps are 'pulled', not pushed, so even if the battery COULD provide 10 amps, the device should only get the 1.5 amps it needs...
I just wonder... could I just cut the power adapter from the cord on the Orbi and direct connect it to the battery? I really wish there was a way to test this without risking a new Orbi.
Did you read my post? I offered a solution.
Yes I did. It does look like a good solution. Thanks for posting it.
