You will need to find a 12 volt supply....
Is there an accessory connection point somewhere on the wiring harness

My Brother-in-law is an Amateur Radio User....
We used his Bench DC Power Supply (Variable voltage) to test my Rider 550 Mount
The Rider 550 Fully Charged 100%
Connected the Rider Mount to the Variable Power Supply Set to....
12.5 Volts... Readings across the Pins on the Mount = 5.55 Volts
With the Rider in Sleep Mode... I Clicked it onto the Mount
The Rider Started up OK
Also Tested the Mount at...12v,11v,10v,9v,8v,7v....
Readings each time across the Pins on the Mount = 5.55 Volts
With the Rider in Sleep Mode... I Clicked it onto the Mount at...12v,11v,10v,9v,8v,7v the Rider Started up OK each time
At 6.0 Volts... Readings across the Pins on the Mount... Was more or less Zero (slightly varying but hovering around Zero)
With the Rider in Sleep Mode... I Clicked it onto the Mount the Rider Would Not Start-Up
