BC>The one I use is a Power Sonic PS-1220, 2.0 amp hr
BC>7" x 1.25" x 2.5"  It only powers the cell phone.
BC>If you want more then maybe a 6 amp hr would be
BC>better. The 6 I saw was a little taller and about
BC>twice as thick. That's all 12 volt.
   I have a 6ah from a computer UPS. Made a little panel with fuse,
   meter and connectors. Great for camping or running a scanner
   outdoors. I see the Shack is carrying a 4ah battery. Someone
   suggested checking with the people who service the emergency room
   lights. Tom, in SW Colorado   tom_lamb@infozone.org
