Careful on powering most Mikrotiks with 24 volt. We have found, and verified with roc-noc and some others, that many of the MT boards will get hot with 24 volts to the DC jack and lockup and other weirdness.

This may answer why I was experiencing some weird problems with some rb433's I had powered with 24V power supplies. I had to replace them because they were locking up on me.

Subject: [WISPA] Power for tower sites

    Currently we are having some horrible issues with power at our
    tower sites.  Our current configuration is that we have tripplite
smart 500VA rackmout UPS connected to deep cycle marine battery. This seems to work OK for a month or so and then kills either the
    battery or the UPS or both.  We then notice that the equipment at
    the tower will power off (battery shuts down for about 10 min) and
    then powers back on.  This happens almost daily and in some cases
    multiple times in a day.  I think it may have to do with the
    output volts of the battery not being high enough for the UPS to
    operate.  We are desperately looking for other alternatives to
    what we are doing to resolve this issue.  Most equipment will
    operate at 12/24 volt.  1x Mikrotik, 2x Trango AP, 2x Trango
    Link45, 4x UBNT Rocket.  Any suggestions are appreciated.
