Hello,
I seem to recall that when Ten Tec advertised the Hercules, they said it could
be powered by deep cycle batteries (4x12v.?) as well as their power supply?
Does anyone else remember something like that in their ads? Manual?

The original Hercules model 444 amplifier DOES NOT have a built in supply. It
uses a very heavy 45V external supply that connects with about a 6 ft harness.
I have the amp.
