5 volt UPS

Tue May 10, 2016 1:49 pm

Hello

Trying to keep a GPS tracker running in the car.

Is it ok just to place a gell cell across the 12 volts in the car through a diode to a 12 to 5 volt converter to run the Pi once the car has been turned off ?

Much like a no break 12 volt power supply

I love the typo in that listing.
Wildly used for the carcorder, car navigation, car audio, car radio, bus LED display, taxi LED screens etc.
...or is it a typo? Maybe it's wild, man
