Hello, I have a Beelink box PC that I would like to start using for field acquisition. The Pc runs off of 12V. Using a simple wall wart, I have no issue getting it powered up and set up. However, for some reason, it will not power up when connected to either a LiFePO4 battery or connected to a 12 V regulated powerwerx power supply. For those of you than run PCs off of battery, what power supplies do you use and do you have an explanation for what I am seeing?

Have you checked that the delivered voltage is above 12V?

check the amps also…
@andrea tasselli - good suggestion, I will test the actual delivered voltage of the wall wart using a multimeter.
@Tony Gondola - I don't think amps are the problem. The Powerwerx supply I used is rated for 40 amps.

Pegasus software says 11.3-11.5 amps most of the time when I’m imaging. I have mine plugged in to my Pegasus Powerbox and it works fine like that.
Problem solved…. bad barrel connector at the end of the powerpole cable I was using to plug into the PC.
