Pin One Problem on DL1608

Do you think the DL1608 and router will be OK with the 12.6 volts fully charged and 10.5 volts fully discharged a lead-acid battery will give it? I did think of doing that instead of using a UPS :) and float charging the battery at 13 volts but that's even more volts :( .
The DL AFAIK does not use 12V internally anywhere. It appears to be the power source for several DC to DC converters. Most converters (Boost, Flyback or Buck) have a wide voltage input range and could easily handle the 13V to 11.8V range (based on 30% battery discharge state for longer life). If not then I have a Boost 6amp converter to 12V using a 6V battery. Ripple and EMI as before would be my main concern. Will test this setup soon.

Yah, I'd not expect they would give out an input voltage spec as they want you using their supply.
BTW I did a gig Saturday night entirely on the 3 amp supply I bought for $9 from http://www.ebay.com/itm/200772780778 - worked great !

There's a guy over here in Blighty running a mobile solar stage http://www.mobilesolarstage.co.uk/home.html we've worked with him and run our HK Projector rig, several JBL PRX512Ms and backline along with his LED lighting rig entirely solar powered 8)

Very impressive and creative but probably a bit much for bar gigs. I've used Anchor and equivalents but usually they run out of battery in about 2 hrs (depending on the volume). For outdoors I will stick with Honda generators for now (very quiet).

Does this solve the Pin One Problem on the DL1608?
