You mean as a 12v source? I don't see a problem with it.

Just make sure it's constant 12V with ignition on and not dependent on throtlle position. it shouldn't be, but anything is possible.

I assume he's referring to the power into the switch, not out of the switch to the converter.

Also, have you seen this thread?
