has anyone else her modified their dNaNo charger?
i ask because i was faced with the question, should i buy rechargeable batteries so i can charge my rechargeable dnano battery? said it outloud to myself and it sounds pretty dumb to buy batteries to charge batteries.
so, i did some checking and others have come to the same conclusion as well. run the charger from AC outlet.
i was shocked that you can modify this charger to run from an AC outlet for roughly $9 or less and you can buy all these parts from radio shack no less.
