[Boatanchors] Wal Warts

[Dave Mayfield]

I've been doing that for years, run most everything off of my 50 amp 
Astron. The voltage is not all that important, have you ever checked the 
voltage from a 12 volt wall wort, it is not 12 volt. more like 18 to 20, 
even items that are marked 5 volt are running 12 or above. Just this 
week I hook up a wireless router that is marked 5volt, it's running off 
of my astron The wall wort that came with it was running 18v and the 
unit was marked 5v
