It does not say that it is regulated, but the 12v out plug is a multipin
(10 pin) with different combinations for different amperages?

After the positive response i bought a Sharp 13". Although the unit is 12
volt , the only power source supplied is a 120AC to 12v DC adaptor. It
would be better to run direct from 12v rather than through an inverter.
How do you do it? Do you know if Sharp supply a 12v direct cord. I don't
want to just cut the cable after the transformer in case it HAS to be
12v and won't tolerate say 14v as the sytem will be when charging.

Is that "power supply" just a standard unregulated AC-to-DC "wall
wart"? If so, I'm almost completely sure you will have zero problems
running it directly off of your batteries, even at the 14.5 volts
during charging. If it's a regulated supply, more investigation will
be required to see if 14.5 volts can be tolerated by the TV.
