667 - Neighbour of the Beast
I know nothing about electricity. Ok now that we have that out of the way. I have a Garmin 276C GPS. I have a power cord which came with it which has a black and red wire on one end. (Not surprisingly the other end plugs into the GPS!) The red wire has a fuse in it.
Question 1: Is it ok to just wire this directly to my battery?
I also have a Powerlet outlet which I am installing tomorrow. The instructions that arrived with that device are quite clear. It was my intention to use the Powerlet to power my GPS. It was after reading the Powerlet installation instructions that I started thinking I could possibly wire the GPS power directly to the battery and use the Powerlet for something else.
