By design, we do not rely on batteries!   ### Power using a Power Adapter (*Recommended*) ![plug in power adapter](https://support.konnected.io/hubfs/plug%20in%20power%20adapter.svg) A 12V power adapter is included in all kits. The power adapter is plugged in to a household electrical outlet and the barrel jack connector delivers 12V to your Konnected device. While all Konnected devices use 12V DC, different products ship with different size power adapters: | Alarm Panel Pro | [2.5A (30W)](https://konnected.io/products/power-adapter-12v-2-5a) | | --- | --- | | 6-Zone Alarm Panel(s) | [2A (24W)](https://konnected.io/products/power-adapter-us-12vdc-2a) | | GDO White & GDO blaQ | [1A (12W)](https://konnected.io/products/power-adapter-12v-1a) | *Note: We supply power adapters with plug types and voltages that are appropriate for the shipping destination country.* ### Powering Multiple Konnected Devices ![splitter](https://support.konnected.io/hs-fs/hubfs/splitter.webp?width=145&height=145&name=splitter.webp)You can power multiple Konnected devices with a single power source using a DC splitter. Just keep in mind that the *total power consumption* of all devices must not exceed the output of the power adapter.
