Hey All,
I was intrigued by the blower issue that Kevin raised and Bryan helped out with and I realized that my battery pack setup was not working correctly not enough power from AAs so I am thinking of wanting to fix this while being as versatile as possible.
Possible battery uses for Heatermeter:
Car tailgate using 12v car battery or cigarette adapter.
Camper using 12v camper battery.
So I am looking at the following options:
Cigarette adapter:

I suppose I also could re-purpose some old phone chagers and dc barrel connectors and usb cigarette adapters for free but that amazon item seems good right?
The barrel is the right dimension and the power output is good right?
Battery connection:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JB4SVY8/?tag=tvwb-20
Presumably I could use that and just alligator clip to any battery I might use (car, marine camper battery, or one of the smaller 12v batterys on amazon for like 18$)
I wonder would I also need to buy a 2amp fuse to use instead of those 20amp or 25amp when using the heatermeter to prevent damage to the heatermeter. Can we imagine a scenerio where it would try and grab more than 2amps of power. (Blowers and all probes and wifi dongles and servos).
Thanks,
Nate
