But I won't try as I would have to change the connector.
There are several Battery-USB adapters out there, I just don't know if I can get them in Germany in a store. If not, I'll go and get a battery compartment and a USB port and build my own casing. I'm really looking forward to that. If I get it done, I'll also post an instructable on instructables.com. There you can find a leather pouch and a cup holder I made and posted so far.  |
I'm a complete and utter dummy when it comes about electronics - you may well be correct re current direction.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
