I've located over 25% efficent solar cells. Do any of the engineers out there have any opinions on how well they would work to power the 110CT indoors or at least charge the battery and extend battery life? I think I've come up with an idea for a decent light concentrator for the cells. I figure the 110 needs ~600mA to operate properly and I think the cells could put at least some of that into it. A panel could go right by the keyboard by cutting a hole into the case for the cells and concentrator then wired to the AC adapter jack through a stepup/down vr with a cutoff for when the AC adapter is plugged in. The panel itself could be removeable for outdoor use. If the present battery cells were replaced with 3 2000 mAh cells in the extended battery pack the aditional room in the battery case could be used for the wiring and circuit boards and such. ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
