The battery has enough power capacity run a cart, it could certainly power a low power hand held device.

You could hook up a small charger and recharge it when necessary. They weigh 10 lbs or so and could be removed from the car to charge if on a long tour.


What do you guys think of my idea?

That is basically what I did four years ago , buy putting the turn signals on there own circuit powered buy the battery laying under the seat , and a mini toggle on the column . haven't had to charge the battery yet , works fine . here is a link to the battery I used .
