Thanx for all the input, but I came to the conclusion that I would
rather not risk "toasting" my soldering iron....one calculative post said
it would... in Message-ID:
The fact being that it is not absolutely necessary like an emergency
(when losing an iron would mean nothing).....although it may be a practical
emergency application, but who is going to tote a soldering iron around
under the already filled under seat scooter storage space.
I can get the bike to mains in my other place, but my parking place
has no electrical conveniences....
I needed to solder some 20 gauge wiring to those fine little piezo
speaker/siren/buzzer wires.
