Correct. It is a possibility that ithe slider is running at 120V, but highly doubt it. It is probably a 120V AC and steps it down and converts to 36V/24V/18V/12V/9V/6V DC. You would just need to get a DC/DC transformer that steps it up or down to the power needed to power it up. Now if you are trying to use the whole system, you may not be able to do. I am unsure if there is anything in the system that is using the 120VAC. If there is, you will need an invertor to power up the. What you can do is open it up and see if where the power wires go, and if there is a jumper on the 120V side to any portion of the system. If there is, you will need an invertor to use the whole system in your vehicle.

With a volt meter, you should be able to determine the power out of the transformer.
