I see...
That flashlight is a cool idea. Maybe one of those 12v car LED spot lights. Sometime before the poles catch rust any leave the whole thing dead, I guess.
Or maybe I'll reassemble the whole thing canceling the computer part. It is why this miserable thing broke in the first place.
Can I recharge it thru car cig lighter and would it be similar to a trickle charger? My car's cig lighter is connected to a 16amp fuse and I think its share alone is something like 10amps since it can run the laptop with its 120w power brick thru an inverter (12v X 10amp = 120w). Knowing it's DC like the battery, would it have an edge over the AC trickle charger?
