Probably a dumb question but why not if you have the right plug?  I am looking for a way to hook up my 12V LED lights to the shuttle. The 5V USB won’t provide enough power and the battery is sealed by a lot of screws. I guessing Marcum doesn’t want us messing around with their battery.

Is there such a thing as a USB 5V to 12V CONVERTER?

just use the charge port for the internal battery on the left hand side.

The charge port - that was the wording I was looking for. Thought it would work just wanted to make sure. Now to find the plug to fit it with bare wires at the other end.

Thanks -

the charger plug reads .214 inches or 5.44 mm outside diameter.
.103 inches or 2.62 mm inside diameter.
.553 inches or 14.05 mm in length.
center positive.

theses should work

 tip, cut one lead a little shorter in case it comes apart. lessens the risk for fire or shorting out when they are not the same length leads. do the same for what ever your adding the leads to.
