My Battery Backpack

[Moose or Chuck]

I just finished my new battery back pack. See i got tired of carrying around a battery extender in a seperate box outside of my pocket. With this new extender, i can easily fit it in my pocket, and then it attaches to my casio so that i dont have to set it on the floor or in my lap.  While it makes my casio rather heavy, i think its worth the extra 20 hours i can squeeze out of the batteries without charging. attached are some pictures.<br><br><br>Simple view<br><br><br>Heres a nice side view to see how big it ends up when on it.<br><br><br>This is the tail end of the bacpac and it shows how i cut the button holes and where the cord comes from<br><br> <br>Heres a good shot to show how big the pack is, its about two casio's high and about an inch longer than the casio, mostly because of the on/off switch attached at the top.<br><br><br>One more view for ya <br><br> Let me know what you think.

Chuck, I admire your crazy construction skills, but I think personally I'd rather just carry the AC adapter than something that big. Good job with it, though, it looks great.

What batteries do you use?

[Matt Keys]

last I knew he was using 3-4 D batteries

[Moose or Chuck]

The cord the connects the battery pack to the PPC is some twenty inches long I think he said. All you'd need to do is sew or glue a belt clip on the battery pack and yank the cord full length to have a nice extra battery pack strapped to your girdle.

Assuming I wear a girdle. Hey, it's just to keep me looking trim!~

I'm gonna ask you too: What batteries do you use??? I want to build a backpack too, but with...about 4 batteries, so I can watch my<br>movies AND user my IPaq!<br><br>Lx

When u say watch movies, Do u mean movies from a microdrive/cf card, or is there a way u can attach an external cdrom/dvd drive to the PPC that I am unaware of?

[Matt Keys]

he meant off some sort of microdrive or cf, there is no dvd/cd-rom adaptor.
