Did you remove the thermal protection in the cigarette lighter part ..?

Are these accepted methods of risk mitigation, ie. should i be legally able to fly closer to people than without cage would be possible? What's the FAAs opinion on this?

has anyone of you gent yet successfully overcome the 12V low voltage cutoff? seems to be the biggest hurdle when wanting to use standalone 12V lead-acid based high capacity batts... looked in some other threads,..

yes, this is approx. ~80W continuous charging!... that's a little more than your average Engel car fridge that cuts in and out every so often...! I noticed even those promising Bikemaster Li-Ion batteries Lithium Ion Batteries don't really hold a lot of Ah for their size...shows you how tightely...

Thanks @idiogenic, I read your thread, very interesting! I am currently persueing the other direction: Li-ION motor cycle batteries, NiMH options. If they're high capacity 14.4V, shouldn't be an issue...I sifted through B&H photo for some power packs, but $$ and not all have the Amps required...

these 'step up converters seem quite pricey.. one that might fit the bill I spotted at Element14: ~AUD $120. http://au.element14.com/mascot/8862-12-12v/converter-dc-dc-40-5w-12-12v/dp/1183943 MASCOT 8862 12/12V DC/DC Converter, Switch Mode, Fixed, 1 Output, 10 V, 16 V, 81 W, 13.2 V Mavic car...

added info to above: Couldn't get a 'step-up converter' I could trust could handle the expected 8A throughput load..biggest was 2A..(25W?) so I left this idea... Was thinking: all my pro audio Li-Ions are 14.4V, so are most pro camera batteries...maybe this is a road worth pursuing?

Nice ideas there, thanks, I have purchased a portable car starter kit from Jaycar, which doesn't charge for the obvious reasons. 12V 3-in-1 Jump Starter with Spiral Wound Battery | Jaycar Electronics Have you got your (above) China-adapter yet? Does it work? Do you have any concerns re' there...
