    Re: Automatic RCX Battery Recharging —Philippe Hurbain
   I agree that there are much faster charging methods, but the slow one has the advantage of simplicity (this was implied in the original question)... I wonder too how to design a connector with contacts that reliably carry 4 to 10 A currents and (...) (22 years ago, 23-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
   
        Re: Automatic RCX Battery Recharging —Stef Mientki
    (...) that's true, (if you think 1 8-pins IC + 1 Mosfet is not simple) (...) Good question, I never asked my self. But it seems no problem at all, I've very bad contacts, (you can even hear and or see them sometimes when the charge process is going (...) (22 years ago, 23-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
   
        Re: Automatic RCX Battery Recharging —Philippe Hurbain
    (...) For you and me, that's simple... but even procurement of parts other than plain vanilla ones may be a nightmare for someone who isn't more or less in the electronics business (At least it is here in France) (...) Thanks for the pointer. (...) (...) (22 years ago, 24-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

   In order to protect the RCX from any type of power problems, would it make sense to disconect the RCX from the batteries first and have it run from an alternate power supply? or would this make it too complicated? I know little about electronics, is (...) (22 years ago, 24-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
