Tv voltage drop
(Preview)
The Teac tv drops the battery voltage from 13.3 to 12.4 when switched on at the set, should it drop nearly 1 volt? It has always been connected via 12v socket. Only the tv, vast box etc do not drop the voltage at all when turned on individually.
Thanks for all and any help
