Can I bypass my ac adaptor to save energy?

by stevec77 . Updated 16 years, 9 months ago

I’m going solar at my remote weekend cabin. I’d like my computer, modem & wifi on all the time. The components each have an AC adapter(120AC to 12VDC) I’m thinking that there would be less power consumption and waste if I bypass the ac adapters and wire directly to my 12 volt battery bank (which is recharged by the solar system). I’d not be wasting energy through the adapters. Am I correct in my thinking or all wrong? Help please?
