You can just use the powershot and plug your battery in to it.

Subject: RE: [smartBridges] airBridge indoor min & max operating voltage


Too much weight.  My laptop will give me a good 12 hours of battery power 
so I only need power for the SB.  My extremely small and lightweight 
solution uses a 9.6V NiCd RC card battery and the parts needed to put power 
on pins 4,5,7 and 8.  This provides more than enough power for what I need.

As for the other part of my problem, the location with unusual power 
sources, I have resolved this as well.  Since I never got the info I was 
after, I cracked open a unit and figured out the min and max operating 
voltages.  Actually, the unit was already cracked as it was backed over by 
a truck.  Does warranty cover this? :-)

I have to say that these canned responses from SmartBridges are getting 
irritating.  For example, I am tired of people asking how to get PPPoE 
working with the new firmware and a hardware firewall only to be told to 
use RasPPPoE.  I love the products and the company (for the most part) but 
if I hear another canned response I think I will lose control.
