Has anyone tried operating the TS-5 from a 24v battery?
Specifically I am trying to understand the voltage operating range. A 24v LiFePO4 battery typically operates between ~22-28v.
The included power adapter is 24v 2.5A
Thanks,

I suspect that the switch isn't real fussy about supply voltages. All the electronics inside is probably using 5 volts, regulated down from 24. The 24 volts is used for Ubiquiti POE gear and that gear will operate down to about 11.8 volts.

I was also testing a switch, the netgear 108, which is 12 volt. I accidentally let the deep cycle battery drop to 7 volts, and the whole setup was still functioning up until the end.
Oh, no!
Hi, Thomas:
Keep that battery charged. ;-)

Yeah, it was definitely an "oh crap" moment. Good thing it's an old battery.... Nice panels
