You need an inverter to run it. A couple of hours will drain the batteries down quickly though. I bought a pocket converter and plug the monitor electric cord into it and then into the 12 volt receptacle there. You didn't get the 600 watt inverter option I am assuming.
I got one of these. Will also run the laptop or other various devices in truck and Airstream. Amazon.com: Xantrex Technologies XPower Pocket Mobile Power Source 175-Watt Inverter #813-0091: Home Improvement
