Title: 16 volt system
Post by: scottkh on April 07, 2022, 05:28:17 PM

Anyone running Solix units along with network switch, mega live and mega 360 on 16 volt battery?   How do you like it?

I’ve read a few posts thru the forums of guys curious if higher voltage makes the units function better or give better images  ...

I have yet to see any quantitative positive results  ...

the manufacturer specifications gives 10 to 20 v for helix and only "12v" with no range for solix
it is a stupid idea to think that the performances of such an equipment will be improved with more volts because in electronics devices the supply voltage is internaly stabilizated

you cant test ... if you are rich enought to change fuses in the best case and buy a new device in the worst
