As blkwrx said, 5 V DC. Note you couldn't do this with standard A-C-D batteries, the closest you could come is 4.5 V. BTW the device is not entirely DC, I believe the VFD requires AC so there's an inverter. The power supply is 2 A. At first I was going to say that's a fairly heavy demand for a battery but look here: http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2001/WilliamCruz.shtml A single D cell has a capacity of 15 A*h. That means it could power a Squeezebox for 7 hours, and a Squeezebox doesn't draw a full 2 A. Not bad! -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27378 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
