Default External power for the Vertica V2

Hi Guy,

I don't know what the "DC connector at the top" is, but the Vertica needs 5V
power.

Best Regards,

The battery on the V2 doesn't last long enough, and I'd like to supply the
unit with some power from my on board 12V system. I know I can set up a
cigar lighter plug in type connection to the mini connector at the bottom.
But I'd like to use the DC connector at the top. What voltage and what type
of connector can I use? Can I put 12V directly in with simple plug that
fits?
