Hey Glock .. can ya help Nita Nupress with her question?
I'm still sending the link and question to men I see on line.
LOL. Looks like Nita's question has been thoroughly answered :o)
Most of my emergency equipment is 12 volt... lights, radio/tv, shortwave, etc... and I've rigged everything with a common kind of connector so they can all be hooked to a couple of huge deep-cycle marine batteries that I keep charged. It was a consideration when buying a scanner (do I want a desk 110v model or 12v car model?) and TV/DVD, so I opted to go the 12v route. The items are smaller, easier to transport, and generally require less power. I hook them to a 12v power supply and run them off house current most of the time, but they're really handy when the trees take out the power lines (which usually happens during the big snow).
