Ubiquiti TS-5-POE 24v Battery Operation
Has anyone tried operating the TS-5 from a 24v battery? 

Specifically I am trying to understand the voltage operating range. A 24v LiFePO4 battery typically operates between ~22-28v. 

The included power adapter is 24v 2.5A

Thanks,

-JP

Switch voltag
I suspect that the switch isn't real fussy about supply voltages.  All the electronics inside is probably using 5 volts, regulated down from 24.  The 24 volts is used for Ubiquiti POE gear and that gear will operate down to about 11.8 volts.

I was also testing a switch, the netgear 108, which is 12 volt. I accidentally let the deep cycle battery drop to 7 volts, and the whole setup was still functioning up until the end.
