My van's 300 watt inverter is going on 3+ years. Only lately has my battery starting to drain too fast. Not sure if the inverter is starting to go, or if it's the two laptops, battery charger and power supplies I leave plugged in. I'm thinking of adding another battery, just need to find a battery box that is sealed to install inside the van that won't blow up if I light up.

RE: [WISPA] Powering 12-volt CPE via battery for site surveys
be careful using inverters. I've used several, on two different trucks in my span here, and burned out the alternator in short order in both trucks. One was a Jeep Grand Cherokee, the latest a Ford Expedition with the high output alternator Running too many amps through the inverters puts a REALLY heavy load on the alternator... I've used an inverter in the past to power laptop, trango, canopy, routerboard and tranzeo setups in varying degrees. I'm convinced that frequent usage of the inverters kills the alternator. Now, I just leave with a laptop fully charged and a couple of charged dewalt 18V batteries that power my radio setup. The dewalts last from 1 to 2 hours which is more than enough time.

RE: [WISPA] Powering 12-volt CPE via battery for site surveys
We use the 18V DeWalt Flashlights and take the head off. Put a Cat5 plug on it where the flashlight head was, and you can inject power into the devices. Be sure to use a volt meter because on the one I had, Red was negative, and Black was positive. If you make a Cisco Reverse PoE cable, you can power the Motorola gear too. We used the DeWalt gear because we use the drills, and they all take the same battery.

RE: [WISPA] Powering 12-volt CPE via battery for site surveys
1 hr??? We use them for a site-survey and are done... I know they last more than 20 minutes. Don't know what kind of devices you are using, but Tranzeos, CB3s, and Mikrotik (all what we use for clients) support 12-22VDC. Then the Motorola is supposed to be 24V, but 18V still powers it.

Put a Cat5 plug on it where the flashlight head was, and you can inject power into the devices. Be sure to use a volt meter because on the one I had, Red was negative, and Black was positive. If you make a Cisco Reverse PoE cable, you can power the Motorola gear too. We used the DeWalt gear because we use the drills, and they all take the same battery.

RE: [WISPA] Powering 12-volt CPE via battery for site surveys
We use 18volt Bosch batteries from our cordless drills to temporarily power cpe's for sight surveys. Not sure how long they would last under continuous use. We use them because they are part of our tool supply and are always charged.

Re: [WISPA] Powering 12-volt CPE via battery for site surveys
I use a 100 watt inverter that plugs right into the cigarette lighter power port. May not power the laptop (haven't tested) but the CPE will stay on for much longer for an hour.
