So 18vdc *should not* damage a 12vdc radio? Any idea on how long an 18vdc DeWalt battery pack will power a 12vdc radio?

Put a Cat5 plug on it where the flashlight head was, and you can inject power into the devices. Be sure to use a volt meter because on the one I had, Red was negative, and Black was positive. If you make a Cisco Reverse PoE cable, you can power the Motorola gear too. We used the DeWalt gear because we use the drills, and they all take the same battery.

(solution must be re-chargeable via auto adapter) We are wanting to use an actual CPE radio with a 19dBi panel antenna, connected to an iPAQ/Axim so we are needing a re-chargeable power source for the radio.
