[aprssig] Backpack Portable Battery Specs

[Dave Baxter]

Make sure you have the battery pack fitted with a fuse!....

I speak from experience on this one....   It's very easy to damage the
power cable and cause a "Huge" amount of smoke to come out of the back
pack!...

Very funny for the onlookers, not so if it's you!...

Cheers.
