Powering a portable karaoke machine
If the unit runs on AC power (plugs into a wall), you SHOULD NOT attempt to
simply attach the power cord to a car battery. AC and DC power DO NOT MIX. You will need to get a DC-to-AC power inverter. This unit will plug into the cigarette lighter and provide you with AC outlets just like at home. You can get one of these at stores like Wal-Mart or just about any auto parts outlet. "WhimsicalZephyr" wrote in message m... Hi everybody! I have a very basic electronics question to ask. Here's the deal: I plan to do some busking around town with a karaoke machine. It's an amateur machine - it plays CDG's, has a small screen for lyrics and a mic. It operates much the same as a standard stereo. The problem is, I need a portable power source for it. Using AC batteries is too expensive, and there's nowhere to plug it in. A friend suggested hooking it up to a car battery and regularily recharging the battery, but i have no idea how to do this. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions, or different alternatives? Thanks in advance. Zephyr --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
