Status: offline 		I really like what I read about the Super Brain chargers but I've noticed that all of the manuals state that you cannot charge while using the 12VDC power of a running automobile. As I would like to use my RC cars during rest breaks on long drives I need to be able to charge them while driving. Is the problem that the ~14.4V of a running car is too high? What are the consequences? Any solutions?

Thanks.
