Every once in a while, I need a 12 v. DC power source to trouble shoot
something. I have been using a battery charger, 12 v. around 6 amp.
Is that okay, or is there a dedicated power source for this purpose?
Maybe
one of those power rescue jumper battery pack thinguses? Kinda spendy,
but
sure I could score one at a yard sale. How do they last? Very
rechargeable?
Something with variable connectors for the times when you need a clamp,
or
just a probe to put the juice at the right place.

I have a 30 amp-hr or so agm battery in a small Pelican Storm case
with a cigarette lighter receptacle mounted in the side of the case.
Stiff foam is jammed around the battery. It makes a compact and
portable (if heavy) power source for the goto telescope, for fishing
lights, and for the gps-sonar on the little jon boat. I charge it
with a little Deltran 800 mA waterproof battery tender.
You could go with a 7 amp-hr or so for a lighter weight setup.

Run a Google search on '12V Power supply' (sans quotes), you'll get a
ton of hits.
He is too lazy and stupid to use Google and so he just comes here instead...
I'm surprised he can even take a **** without consulting the group...then
again , he's so full of it I coulda missed...
