I tried connecting my EW logger to external 12V power from the glider per instructions in the manual. Current draw was reasonable (150-250 mA), but the unit became extremely hot (I couldn't hold it) and it stopped working for the rest of the day. The next day it functioned normally.

Does anyone have any experience in this area?

Thanks!

Nope. Mine is powered from external 12V and works pretty much flawlessly (after adjusting some of the config settings to make sure it starts recording the second the glider moves).
