I agree. I'd also start a beginners guide by talking about 9V and the
options available, then summarise older systems (battery, 12V) so that the
beginner knows they're out there, and can then decide whether to seek them
out specifically or avoid them to concentrate on current product. Starting
a beginners' guide with a description of 12V like this could be confusing.
