Thanks to all with the info on the batteries! Mark's reply with the link to the Apple Tech Library is the official word... <http://til.info.apple.com/techinfo.nsf/artnum/n15315> Re: the question about just using two 12 volt solar panel to run a Duo. The problem with this is the "Open circuit voltage" of a single 12 volt panel can be around 22 volts! Times 2 and a potential 44 volts into a Duo may do something bad ;-) Electrolytic caps come in 35 volt ratings which is usual for 24 volts circuits. They MIGHT work at 44 volts! But for how long. A "nominal" 12 volt panel actually has a peak power rating often around 17 volts, therefore the LIKELY voltage under a MATCHED load would be 34 volts, still a little high for safety sake... at least warming up the series regulator(?) in the Duo a bit! PowerQwest does make some portable panels, but they have no actually specs on the Web, except "Watts." http://www.powerexperts.com/Products/Sun_Catcher_Mobile_Power/sun_catcher_mobile _power.htm O.J.
