Hi,<br /><br />I'm not savy (yet) in electronics, however I throw this thought out there to the gurus...<br /><br />I've read alot about how recharging time between sessions is a large limitation.<br /><br />So I wonder, would a battery pack which allowed replacable batteries be pratical.<br /><br />On top of that I was wondering whether using <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.usbcell.com/">http://www.usbcell.com/</a><!-- m --> batteries would be better.<br /><br />My thought is having your laptop with a number of USB hubs all recharging a stack of batteries, then well power drops simply swap out the dead cells with recharged ones.<br /><br />If a session is 15min long and it takes 1 hour to recharge a battery, then having 4 sets of batteries and enough USB ports via hubs available should allow for continuous use?<br /><br />Regards<br />Michael<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="http://forum.robosavvy.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=501">mkegruber</a> — Mon Mar 12, 2007 7:11 am</p><hr />
