So does "12V isolated output" from the transformer mean the blanket itself runs off of 12V? So you could skip the charger/batteries included and run a direct 12V connection?

The batter is a 12v Lithium Ion battery. It is also a control module so adjust the heat. If you ran it otherwise you would likely run it at the highest temp or risk burning out the heating element in the blanket. The control module does appear to be able to run off direct 12v input, You would simply need a means to connect it (cigarette plug adapter or other).

I'm open to offers on these things. I've got more than I need and if you can use it lets get it done.

Cheers!
