I've finally have ditched the wall outlet with my wearable, Nomad. Over the weekend I finished the battery carrier and the power board for my system. I'm using two Toshiba PA2485U Li-ION 10.8Vdc 5600 mAh laptop batteries in parallel. I left Nomad running over night to see how long the batteries would last, it was still running in the morning. I finally swapped out the batteries (without rebooting) after twelve hours of use. Everything fits in my hiking hip pack. The Advantech case houses the PCM-5822, power board, and disk drive. If anyone is interested, I can get pictures up for viewing. Now all I have to do is start hacking my Cy-Visor into a monocle, and wire in my GPS unit. -Freeman P.S - If there are duplicates of this message please forgive me.
