Default Running a radio from a large rechargeable cell or battery

I use Exeltech inverters for things that won't run directly off 12 or
24 volts, and they are quite clean unless run at or above rated
capacity (Their ratings are quite conservative). Exeltechs are pure
sine wave inverters -- they are very good, and cost more than your
typical Big Box inverters.

As for distribution, I use West Mountain Radio RigRunners with
Anderson PowerPole connectors. These are used by ARES, are rated to
30 amps in 12VDC and are "genderless" in that any connector can
connect to any other.

Eric,
Thanks for sharing the tip on Exeltech, I am going to check them out.
I figured a decent inverter would cost more than a similar capacity
square wave however, having been around a square wave inverter with a
radio I'm pretty sure it's a worthwhile expense. As to the RigRunners
and Anderson PowerPole's .......... once I switched to them I never
looked back!
