I'm using a J50C-4 in my observatory (and N42C-4 portable setup) with a Pegasus Ultimate Power Box V2, which has an "always on" unregulated 12V output.
I typically run from a 13.8V supply, or a large 12v AGM battery into the Pegasus. The Minix requires 12V regulated at up to 2 or 3A.
I found a nice DC-DC converter that is plug and play which will take 9-31V DC input (5.5mm/2.1mm plug) and regulate it for USB C Power Delivery into the Minix.
It is the Omnicharge Omni 20 DC to USB-C Adapter. You can find them on Amazon for $60 or so.
Works great!
