HID from a 12v bike battery?

hybridfiat · Aug 7, 2014

Id like to run the HID/lens set-up, without the bulky battery compartment; off a waist mounted Lithium M/Cycle battery for hunting. That way I can mount the light under the barrel or forestock. Is that possible by just wiring the battery through a switch to the terminals of the light?
