Solar panels are a great idea, but you must have room for a power flow control chip, dont want to explode the battery, Removing the battery is not a viable option, Changing the battery with a capacitor *might* work, but i would not rely on it, Im down for a solar panel covered back. Im not too conceder about power consumption right now as I cant actually use my Neo at home.
>>> Wolfgang Spraul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02/09/08 10:01 PM >>> Andy (or anyone else), if the whole back of the Neo would be a solar panel, and you would put it back side up into direct sunlight, say for 5 hours, how much could that charge the battery? Could you operate the phone without a battery (and without USB) power if you were standing in sunlight? Just curious, thanks for any answers, Wolfgang _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
