Hi Adrian,What battery are you planning to use? Do you know battery voltage and power? So to check that inrush current is not too high for the battery, or it'll get damaged in time. I have done plenty of tests for my nixie watch and nixie clock power supply. I have this power supply which works extremely well and with a battery too. I use it to power 6x Dalibor tubes plus the two Dalibor colons nixies. Link below. You are welcome to return it if it doesn't work. It will work for your requirements. I'm in the UK.

I've seen the Russian datasheets but not really thought about them yet.I saw there were a bunch of options though those specs will narrow it down a bit. But there any that are known to be good (or bad) ?On Wed, Nov 20, 2024 at 7:13 PM Mac Doktor <[email protected]> wrote:On Nov 19, 2024, at 8:38 AM, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote:I'm looking for a compact, efficient, battery-powered supply for it. I can see several possibles on ebay (it can be just the supply, doesn't need to include modulator) but don't know how they compare.I'm assuming that the supplies made for el-wire are too low voltage and possibly too low current, and I want a nixie supply at 140VDC or more. Is that right ?The rated voltage is 140V but I've seen higher. Have you seen this?https://threeneurons.wordpress.com/nixie-power-supply/Note the current. The IN-13 can be driven with an MPSA42 but an IN-9 will need something like an MJE340.As for the HV power supply, there are plenty on eBay but making it battery operated may require an extra gadget. They're dime a dozen these days.This is off the top of my head. My apologies if you've already gotten this far.
