@talkie_tim The battery compartment may be big enough for one or two standard batteries and a voltage converter, but I have ENOUGH to do.
@talkie_tim …including, IIRC, a 60 volt batter.
@talkie_tim It *looks* it. The only reason I say defunct is that I have no way of testing it: it takes truly *bizarre* military batteries…
