[Asterisk-Users] USB ISDN (OT question)

[Derek Conniffe]

Hi Jorg,

Ha ha - I tend to keep my off grid projects cheap & simple.  I noticed 
that the gateways battery pack was 18V so I opened the battery pack up, 
removed the batteries and connected a cable to the power connector 
inside and ran it out through a hole I made in the back of the battery pack.

Now I have the notebook connected to a 12V battery pack (500AH but it 
powered other stuff too: a WiFi access point and a switch and a 12 - 5V 
adapter to power a couple of budgetone phones and some data capture 
stuff).  There is around 200W of PV panels connected connected to the 
battery back via a steca (german) 30A charge controller.

Its interesting to note that the notebook happly runs with power down to 
around 10.5V and its been running like this for around 2 years now.  I 
also got the notebook free because the guy who had it broke the LCD 
panel so now its a notebook less the screen (which I removed).

The RE thing is a hobby of mine so I'm glad to answer any questions on it!

All the best,

Derek
