1. Re: Battery to MicroTrack 24/96

~~~ Thanks 'a million, Bruce!

While I'm in there, I'm wondering if it's safe to also wire-up a pigtail fr=
om the outside direct to the board, to give me the option to also run from =
something like D-cells or a 6v lantern battery.  Would such a simple parall=
el wiring scheme pose a danger to the internal battery?

If so, would putting a diode on the internal battery be sufficient to prote=
ct it from the external power?

For me, power thru the USB port as one poster suggested doesn't seem to wor=
k, as my MicroTrack only recognizes this for charging - 'won't immediately =
power-up.

Thanks!
