Hi:

I recently wanted to let a GPS receiver average for 24 hours.  The 
internal batteries would last that long so I used one of my 257477BA 
battery adapter with a Cigarette Lighter socket soldered onto it.  This 
got me thinking that the 10 "D" cells provide a nominal "12 Volts" and 
so now am offering some new options for this series of adapters.

The new 257477BA-PP has an Anderson Power Products "Power Pole" 
connector pair under the existing socket bracket.  It works just like 
the stock 257477BA but can also be used out of a radio to power anything 
equipped with the standard ARES Power Pole connector arrangement.

 In addition I'm offering short cable with a pair of Power Pole 
connectors on one end and a Cigarette Lighter socket on the other end 
(model PPCL). 

Also offering a short cable with a PRC-25 battery plug on one end and a 
Power Pole connector on the other (model 25PP).  This could be plugged 
intoone of my battery adapters or an actual battery like a BA-5598, 
BA-4386, etc. to power  "12 Volt" equipment with a Power Pole 
connector.  It also could be used to charge a battery or adapter that 
was rechargeable.  By adding the above PPCL cable you can power 
Cigarette Lighter equipment form an adapter or actual battery.

If you don't know about Power Poles, see:
http://www.pacificsites.com/~brooke/PowerPole.shtml - both Power Pole 
info and "12 Volt" info
http://www.emaares.com/ppole.htm - shows the standard configuration and 
has part numbers

All this new stuff is in stock.
