Would it be safe to connect my HT directly to a 12v car battery? If the
HT will only draw the amperage it needs, and the voltage is within the
specs, it should be safe, right?

Thanks,



I answered my own question. car batteries tend to have voltage spikes,
which would damage the HT. Just wanted to throw this out in case anyone
else ever has the same question.
