Hi Stu,

They don't come with a 12V power lead to plug into the wall unfortunately.

You will need to get a battery pack of some sort (yet something else to add the the growing list of accessories). I ordered mine from Bintel and they recommended their 18Ah Lead Acid Battery, which came with a 12V adapter. It has worked brilliantly so far, I charge it after every viewing session as recommended. They said you'd be able to get around 12 hours out of a full charge or there abouts. It wasn't cheap coming in at $149, but worth the money.

The other alternative is to get a jump start kit from Super Cheap/Repco etc. However, I can't vouch on how well they work, longevity et al.

Hope that helps somewhat
Evan
