  1. So... has anyone used a NP- 1 battery cup to charge? would it need modification or rewiring?
  2. rad. this looks promising, in that it seems portable enough, and can handle various DC sources, perhaps whatever the Mothership solar throws at me. as long as it's not software dependent after initial setup - i don't think i have space for my laptop! i'll give West Mountain a call tomorrow. thanks, Derek! Jon - indeed i may pack an inverter (or they *might* be packing such already), but my first goal, as this is a very remote and rugged month-long expedition, is to be as efficient as possible, it appears they discourage the DC-AC-DC energy flow, for good reason of course, but yeah - inverters aren't too heavy as a backup. Dalton - that's very appealing and was my first consideration. i just don't think we have canoe space for my own solar rig. today i heard that the community solar rig can provide - so i'm focusing on the DC charging aspect to make my share as efficient as possible. cheers, all! eric
  3. hey gang. i'm going to be recording 8 tracks w/phantom at 96K, and my NP-1's run the SD recorders very well like that. thing is, this one is a nature science expedition for a month with only DC available from a solar rig. i hope to charge my NP-1's from that, as i can't be tethered to the solar battery most of the time. i don't know what the voltage or current capacity is yet. but i'm wondering if anyone has experience in general, charging their NP-1's from a DC source other than the standard chargers. i have the B4B NP-1's with the DC jack and i have the small travel charger (which actually runs on AC). i would love to use my big four-bay AC charger, but i believe they are trying to avoid using inverters or generators. can you simply tap into, say, a 12 volt DC source (like a car battery) and get a charge from that? or do you need some sort of charging circuit for such a DC source? totally new one for me. cheers, eric
