At tonight's meet/hacknight we'll be making prototypes of emergency power
cables so people can power their mesh nodes in a disaster situation.
The idea is to make cheap, long, foolproof cables + instructions that make
it simple to power mesh nodes from any 12 vdc source.
The thinking behind this is that the U.S. is full of cars and the most
medium-term power supply in the days/weeks after a disaster will be car
batteries.
A while back we ordered components for this from china and now that they've
arrived we can make some cables and test how they work and whether we need
better under-voltage/over-voltage protection.
See you at 7:30 pm!

Are inputs up to 15V tolerant? Alot of battery chargers go up to 14.8V
so if you want to be able to charge battery while connected it would be
good to ensure whatever voltage regulator (not sure if onboard or a
separate power board/deadbug) can handle. I use LM7805s which have input
voltage up to 35V if you want to run on a 24v battery, not the most
efficient but I have never had problems.

The TP-Link N750 units take 4.75V to 18V, the Westen Digital N600 units
take 4.5v to 23v and Ubiquiti gear takes 10.5 to 25v:
