Good advice.

I've had my fun with batteries back when I had hydraulics 
on the suspension of my Toyota truck.  4-6 car batteries 
wired in a series make for big sparks when tools slide 
down the speaker box w/two 15" subs to the "hot" side of 
the solenoids. 

Those were the days, take a perfectly good truck, and 
hack it up until it's useless. <g> 

I guess everybody's gotta come from somewhere...
