Default Power source

This is not an E-flight problem but I have had such good luck on RCU that I thought I would see if anyone had an answer or could point me in the right direction.

I have an old cassette player that has a 6VDC input on the side. Anyone know a practical (preferrably inexpensive) way to get 6 volts from my 12 volt car? I would guess the unit draws 50-100 mW.

Thanks -- John

hi, i found this, im not sure if it will stand the amps though, i've used a similar idea to use a lipo as an rx battery

Thanks A couple of these and a small 12 VDC fan should turn the trick
