I'd be surprised if a SMPSU would run down to 12v though most have a

Eh? Both my current phone and the last one had SMPS. The current one
tiny and weighs less than a normal plugtop.


Input not output Most that I have come across seem to stop working at
around 80V


Ah. But there's no reason why an SMPS can't work from any voltage - I've
got a handy little circuit that produces 12 volts with an input of 3 - 30
volts.
