| I have a Yaesu vx7 that I've added to my BOB along w/ its AA battery insert, car charger, and extra battery. In the event of an extended "engagement" where the AA's are not available and the extra battery is extinguished, how might I power my radio. Is there a direct to car battery wiring option? |

You can use a Yaesu EDC-6 with Andersen Powerpoles attached and a cable with a set of battery clamps on one end and Powerpoles on the other end. See this post, and in the photos at the bottom substitute the battery clamp cable for the 8xAA battery pack. I fabricated a set similar to what's in the photos and it works very well. |

ETA to the OP just keep putting Andersen powerpoles on everything you own, and then you will never run out of powering options...
