Standard desktop PC power supply units (PSUs) are built to plug directly into a wall outlet and accept Alternating Current (AC), typically ranging from 100V to 240V. The internal first stage of a standard ATX PSU is a bridge rectifier that immediately converts this incoming AC power into high-voltage Direct Current (DC), around 170V DC for a 120V AC input or 320V+ DC for a 230V AC input. This high-voltage DC is then processed by the power supply's switching circuitry to generate the stable, lower DC voltages (12V, 5V, 3.3V) that the computer's components require.
Therefore, while the computer runs on DC internally, its standard PSU is specifically designed to take AC input from the grid. To power a desktop PC from a battery (which provides DC), you would either need:
An inverter to convert the battery's DC to AC for the standard PSU.
A specialized DC-to-DC power supply (like a PicoPSU) designed to accept a lower DC voltage (e.g., 12V) directly from the battery and convert it to the required internal DC rails.
