[TenTec] Triton IV on battery

[Mike Bryce]

A Triton will work fine on a battery.

You should insert a magnetic circuit breaker in the power cord so the PA transistors are protected. Airpac (?) had a 18 A breaker for that purpose and Ten Tec sold it. That circuit breaker provided the overcorrect protection that was inside the ten tec power supply.

A man with one clock knows what time it is. A man with two clocks is never sure.
