I doubt there is a straight “yes or no” answer. I wouldn’t be surprised to find that the “nominal 12V” power supply that comes with the Port sits at a higher voltage than that with no load, though it will probably drop closer to 12V under load - the battery-based solution probably won’t.

Internally the incoming power is probably regulated anyway, so it will probably be fine - but it does of course involve a risk of shortening the life of the internal components, because it’s likely to generate more heat in the voltage regulation components. If it were mine, I would consider putting in an external 12V regulator, if only because the Port is an expensive device to risk damaging.

I think thats a 12 v trigger not power

specs say 110- 

Yes, there is a 12V trigger input, but the factory “wall wart” power supply is, as the OP says, specified with an output (to the Port) of 12V @ 1A.

Hi guys, thanks for your response. James, you are talking about the 12v trigger. If you look at the power brick that you connect to your outlet you’ll see that the brick delivers 12v 1a to the Port.

Antifon, what you are saying makes sense. It will be a nice project to learn about that and lower the voltaje to 12v. I’ll read around and see what is the best way to achieve it.

Thanks again.

oops sorry,  been a while since i put one in….
