\* The nominal input voltage is 12 V. In practice, automotive batteries typically provide 12.6 V when idle and up to 13.6 V while the engine—and thus the alternator—is running.
In a vehicle setup, the engine and alternator must remain continuously running to ensure proper operation of the Rooftop Box system.
When using a power supply, it must be capable of providing at least 50 A and should be set to a minimum output voltage of 13.1 V continuously.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://manual.fotokite.com/system-specifications.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
