Ed,
I understand this completely. What my questions were intended to elucidate
was: 1) how long will a 9-volt cell keep the radio supplied with power (my
car sometimes sits for weeks) and 2) when you hook-up the car battery, does
the 12 volts flowing into the 9-volt battery have any negative ramifications
(eg the 9 volt battery exploding).
Thanks,
Peter
