  2. Power inverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

    The input voltage depends on the design and purpose of the inverter. Examples include: 12 V DC, for smaller consumer and commercial inverters that typically run from a rechargeable 12 V lead acid battery or automotive electrical outlet. [3] 24, 36, and 48 V DC, which are common standards for home energy systems.

  3. Extra-low voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra-low_voltage

    Voltage drop is usually the main factor considered, but current-carrying capacity is as important when considering short, high-current runs such as between a battery bank and inverter. Arcing is a risk in DC ELV systems, and some fuse types which can cause undesired arcing include semi-enclosed, rewireable and automotive fuse types.

  4. Battery charger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_charger

    A smart battery requires a smart charger. Some smart chargers can also charge "dumb" batteries, which lack any internal electronics. The output current of a smart charger depends upon the battery's state. An intelligent charger may monitor the battery's voltage, temperature or charge time to determine the optimum charge current or terminate ...

    The actual voltage, matching the car battery's voltage, will be approximately 12.5 volts when dormant (less in cold conditions), approximately 14.5 volts when the engine and the alternator/generator are operating (more when cold), and may briefly drop as low as 5–6 volts during engine start due to the high temporary battery current usage. [12]

  6. Uninterruptible power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply

    The main 50/60 Hz transformer used to convert between line voltage and battery voltage needs to provide two slightly different turns ratios: One to convert the battery output voltage (typically a multiple of 12 V) to line voltage, and a second one to convert the line voltage to a slightly higher battery charging voltage (such as a multiple of ...

  7. AC adapter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_adapter

    A battery eliminator is an adapter intended to allow a device intended for battery operation, such as a radio, to be operated from an AC outlet. [15] All radios, except crystal sets, used inconvenient and messy vacuum tube batteries until the mid- to late-1920s. Battery eliminators that plugged into light sockets became very popular. [16]

  8. DC connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_connector

    The polarity for 12 V DC sockets is center pin positive (+), outer collar negative (−). Reversed polarity will damage some electronic devices. Although the nominal voltage of a 12 V lead acid battery is 12 V DC, when the engine is running the car's battery charging system will bring the system voltage to 13.8 V DC or higher. [10]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Power_inverter

    The problem with feeding anything but a pure sine wave to a UPS is it can, and does, cause the UPS to see the incoming power as being "bad" and it will switch back and forth between battery and AC power and not survive this very long. That's why cheap inverters and generators with THD higher than 5% must NOT be used with a UPS.
