Hi! I've planned a journey to an area without electricity, where I would like to use my Libretto for storing digital pictures and for diary. Does anybody of the listfolk have experience how to operate a Libretto with solar power? I've already found rollable and foldable panels on the market, but the main questions are: - Nominal input for the Lib is 15V, which fits to the output voltage of standard panels (under good light conditions). But what happens if the panel voltage is reduced because of clouds etc? Does charging continue with lower current? Or does charging stop? - 2nd importent question is the right size of the panel. The standard power adaptor is designed for 30W/2A which is quite huge for a panel which should fit into a backpack... - A smaller problem is to find a source for a power plug - maybe somebody has a damaged power adaptor to sell, where I could cut off the cable with the plug! Are there any hints avilable? regards Gerhard _________________________________________ Gerhard Kapusta Email home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax&Voicebox: +4912120-201115
