Most all LVDC and LVAC systems run off 24 - 36 volts.
Some have rectifier and transformer circuits internal. [Hard to modify]
Some use wall transformers [If that's the case, a battery can usually be
plugged in directly using the proper polarity]
Some have internal rectification with external transformer. [If that's the
case, polarity doesn't matter and you just can't hook it up wrong]
All will run off 12 volts if hooked up in the right spot..just
slower...except for the following case.
If the generator has an "automatic off" that is conductivity related, the
'output' voltage at start, regardless of input, must be higher than the
shut down voltage or it will think it is done and shut off. [Typically 5 to
12 volts depending on how much current and electrode is used]
Basically, if there's no way to get around the auto off and the output is
lower, it just won't run at all.
If it does run, the results are the same in the end when it does
eventually shut itself down.
If there is a way to bypass the auto off, virtually any voltage can be
used, but it'll take a meter [or taste buds?] to tell when to stop.
There is one automatic unit "made" for alternative power sources,
designed specifically for the Australian Outback. [Can also be plugged into
the wall]

Most solar panels put out 18 volts in full sun at the load of most CS
generators. [500 milliamp solar car chargers work fine]
A fully charged car battery is between 13 and 15 volts.
Cordless power tool batteries are a good alternative source.
CS can be made with as little as 1.2 volts [maybe lower]..it just takes
more time.
It's also possible that CS can be made using one silver and one aluminum
electrode, connected out of the water..and no power source or electronics
at all. [This is how 'Curad Silver' bandages work]
No aluminum enters the water.
'Algebar' does the same thing using silver and copper electrodes. ["Might"
be making colloidal copper?...probably not.]

Hi list,
I was wondering if the cs makers that run on120v can be made capable to
run off of 12 volt system via a solar and wind system. I am hoping not to
have to use an inverter with this system.
