Macdrone Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 So I got this green machine. Any suppliers of batteries? It doesn't have one in it. Also any good replacement chargers? Missing that also of course. Gonna look but I think that screen looks like same size as the portable hmmmm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beachycove Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 As I have posted elsewhere, this and a plug and a thermistor, the latter two being easily harvested from a dead battery (there must be some of those still about), will do the trick about as well and as cheaply as it can be done. An alternative is a 4xAA plastic battery holder wired to the male connector internal to the eMate. Even alkalines would run it in intermittent use for a long time, and you would not then need a charger at all. Those are expensive. The general arrangement is here; battery holder hacks can be found if you go looking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mcdermd Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 If I had known you wanted one, I would have given you one, 'drone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Macdrone Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I got it for shipping with a 540c since my motherboard shorted out and wouldn't power the floppy drive anymore. I didn't know I wanted it. I'm just a gluten for being hip deep in projects. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
