my rcx works fine with a universal ac to dc wall outlet. it has a switch to
change the voltage. i've got it set at 9v and it operates at 800mA max. i
figured 6 batteries x 1.5v =9v.

i think it was originally for a keyboard (musical instrument, not computer
device).

i guess that is another option when it doesn't have to be mobile.

Hi All,

My old cellular "bag-phone" died a while back and I replaced
it with a nice teeny tiny PCS phone.

I had bought the 12V 2.3Ah sealed lead battery as an option
with the original phone. It is WAY sma • ller than the 4Ah
monsters I'm using for development now...

The dimensions are about 7 x 2.5 x 1 inches.

I'm just passing this along as yet another source for batteries.
You might go to a local cell phone place and see if they have any
you can beg or borrow since they are generally discarded after
folks trade in leased phones.

Cheers,
