I guess with a DC-DC and convertor cord I could add an Uptone.

A DC voltage regulator capable of handling 12v in and outputting 7-9 V is what I would suggest, the SMPS that comes with an LPS 1.2 outputs 7.5 volts, not sure how many amps. Amazon has several ~ $25. You could also use a DC to AC converter to feed the stock SMPS if your car still has a cigarette lighter socket to plug one into

Are there any battery powered LPS besides the Musical Paradise MP-U1? Looking to power a Chord Qutest in a car. @Middy and @dmance are tracking this.

??? Why not use a well regulated battery supply. Makes no sense that you are thinking to power a transformer design with DC voltage.. that needs AC

Thinking about this a good solution would be an Uptone Audio LPS 1.2, it’s a capacitive power supply with 1.2 amps at 5/7/9/12 volts out and DC powered, you would just need to step the 12v DC from the cars electrical system down to between 7-9 V for charging it. I like it better than the Uptone Audio JS-2 LPS for lower amperage devices

It can run a little warm on the Qutest, well my older LPS1 does but within specs but as this is for a Car system I'd check with Alex C so you don't cause an issue if its tucked away inside the car boot/trunk... But that's a great idea @davide256

 

 

It does take it about 30 seconds to charge up. I suspect in a car system you might want it and the Qutest in the drivers area as you have to depress that little ball

to turn the Qutest on/off, wouldn't want to drain the cars battery + generate heat by leaving the LPS 1.2 charging after exiting the vehicle.

Car amps are design to filter out noise from the engine. Do you think the Uptone would be fine voltage conversion aside?
