Yes, I did something similar for my SPOT, but using a 12V to variable voltage power supply - HERE -- so I could run it off the vehicle lighter socket. Used two dead batteries with the power leads soldered to the appropriate ends - but of course I will have to watch out for leakage from the batteries. The dummy plastic ones are better.
Worked perfectly over three months through Mexico except for one three-hour stretch when the lighter plug worked its way out.

is that the Spot Connect?? If so I rejected it simply because without a working smart phone it becomes useless except for emergency alarm. If there is a Spot 3, I can't find a reference to it.
