Theoretically, yes. But I wouldn't do it. The kind of noise you can get on a car electrical system is horrible. When you disconnect the power to the starter, it can dump a couple of hundred volts spike onto the bus, not to mention the noise you can get from the ignition system. The best way is to have a seperate battery for the sensitive digital equipment, along with an elaborate filtered power supply to charge it (kind of like an online UPS). --------------- Linux- the choice of a GNU generation. -------------- : Alex Holden (M1CJD)- Caver, Programmer, Land Rover nut, Radio Ham : -------------------- http://www.linuxhacker.org/ -------------------- -- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.ml.org
