Can I bypass these two adapters?
Yes I can


LiPo 11.1V DC (12.6V-9.0V) to
DC/DC Boost Converter Step-up Voltage Transformer 3-34V to 4-35V 6A Volt Regulator Controller (set to 12V DC output) to

Male DC Power Pigtail Plug to Computer (Jetson TK1)


I cut off the "DC connector" from the AC adapter for the Kinect's powered USB cable and connected + - of exposed wires direct Step-up Converter.



Note: I couldn't get the Kinect to have sufficient power when going through the transformer so I left the computer on the transformer and connected the Kinect straight to the LiPo since the Kinect supports ~9V-13V DC
