Tony could you share more information about your work on 12 Volt power supplies for School Servers? Whenever I see a School Server setup containing a 12V Battery, an inverter, a power strip, and a couple of 120V to 12V power supplies to provide power for the server and the AP... my eyes start to

The piece I am looking at is reducing the losses between the battery and the server/AP. Several systems have a 12V Battery which is inverted to 120AC which is then transformed back to low voltage DC for input to the server/AP. That doesn't seem very efficient. Dave On Wed, May 29, 2013 at 3:29
