However ambitious I might be that is way beyond my capabilities but I shall keep it for reference.

BTW I actually have one of these

http://www.laptopsforless.com/pr2details.htm

Although not particularly cheap ($60) it is very versatile with selectable voltages of 3, 4.5, 5,  6, 7.5 and 9.

This makes it very versatile.

Just a note, but it seems that the Pelican PSP battery doesn't like (gets hot and the LED blinks really fast) charging off 5.4V, like an Axim power supply.

the pelican cigarrete cahrger puts out 5.4 v at around 1.5 amps.  i havent tried it myself because as it is, the ea-70s charger the pelican and it blink fast(normal) until its solid(full charge).

it does get warm which is normal as long as your zaurus charger doesnt get hot even the plug, its fine.

well, I bought the Joytech PSP battery extender for my PSP and it has a Ni-MH battery inside, rated at 4.8V output with 2000mAh. The input is 5V 2A which is the same as the charger for my C3100. The plug is the same size too so I think its ok to use with my C3100.
Strangely, my C3000 charger is 5V 1A and my C3100 charger is 5V 2A (both came direct from japan in original packaging). Been using my C3000 charger with my C3100 because its smaller

FYI Of course after buying the logc3 & saw a the pelican at a walmart for $3 more. The logc3  is a 1800mah lion, while the pelican is a 3600mah nimh. The pelican is also much slimmer, that with the exta capacity convinced me to return the logc3 & get the pelican.

So I got the Pelican brick and a psp power supply, but after 12 hours the light is still fast-flashing. Is the first charge supposed to take a long time?

Ok, so I left it charging while I was @ work & it was fully charged when I got home. Works good as far as I can tell. The real test will be when I'm on the road watching videos (another thing I'm trying to get working; another thread ).

I saw a hand crank flashlight w/ a power out for cell phones....  maybe this would be a good addition?  (needs testing, of course).  The power brick is OK, but on my 6k the whole thing got a bit flaky when both batteries got low.

ouch!  definetly bad.  I did notice that with mine, the c3200 ran okay but on the sl5500, generated so much heat that i was afraid to leave it alone charging.  So i dont use the powerbrick anymore and dont really need it since the zaurus battery is good enough.  Ill be tossing the brick to the trash just to be safe.


recall site [a href=\"http://www.powerbrickrecall.net/]http://www.powerbrickrecall.net/[/url]  but i dought it will not work for us.
thanks tsing!!

[there are now so many other psp external batteries that the pelican can be pretty much ignored.  Mine is in a desk drwaer..and a 3800mah batter is in my "zaurus bag"

Perhaps people could list external batteries they recommend for those now abandoning the Pelican? I'm interested in 3600mah or greater.
