Battery requirements and guidelines for MXO2
¦ Note This section does not apply to Matrox MXO2 Rack and Matrox MXO2
Mini as they cannot be powered by a battery.
As an alternative to using an AC outlet, you can use a battery to power Matrox
MXO2 or MXO2 LE. To avoid damage to your MXO2 system and peripheral
devices when using a battery, please observe the following requirements and
guidelines. For instructions on how to connect a battery, see
“Powering MXO2”
on page 14 or “Powering MXO2 LE” on page 32 .
• Use a standard self-protected (fused) battery with a nominal voltage of 12V,
13.2V, or 14.4V. A higher-voltage battery will damage your MXO2 system.
• Disconnect MXO2 from the battery when not in use. Do not leave MXO2
connected to the battery when not in use as this may damage your MXO2
system and/or battery.
• Do not power your MXO2 using your vehicle’s battery via the power socket.
²Caution To avoid damage to your MXO2 system and peripheral devices, use a
Matrox-recommended battery. For a list of batteries recommended for use with
your MXO2, visit the Matrox MXO2 Support section of our website at
