My build doesn't have a PSU. Instead it has a voltage regulator. I live in an off-grid RV so my PC runs off a battery bank. There is no AC/DC conversion.
That is indeed unique.
what are the specs of the system?
Oldass i7, 32GB RAM, couple of SSD's, RTX 2060 12GB underclocked to reduce power, no monitor since it's a VR machine/stable diffusion server. Wirelessly connects to a Pico 4.
For older hardware it manages to run everything I throw at it.
Oh that's more than I expected. I thought you would just power something laptop like by the battery. How long can the system stay up?
It'll run indefinitely while idle. I usually put it to sleep when I'm not using it though. I've got a 600ah battery bank so I can pretty much run it as long as I need to under load without fear. My air conditioning is the thing I have to keep in check.
