It works automatic if u want say it so. No recharging needed! The energy produced by any smal llightsource is enough for ur trackclip pro to make the LEDs work! So u will never ever have to charge it! so easy is it :)
. Its like the solarcells an Houses, they just produce energy when they get light. So the small solarthing is perfectly for that because a small lightsource is eneough to start making that amount of energy u need for the Leds to shine.

Its a cheap solution, try it for a few pounds, if it not works (it will:)) u can still buy a expensive duracell Battery like in ur first link up there, but that one is overkill for ur Trackclippro...It`s like u have a 1000 Watt Powersupply for ur Pentium 1 with 150 Mghz... ;)

:lol: you have convinced me, got some Velcro as well.

Thanks for the advise.

Btw have you cut the trackclip cable back or just tucked it away?

Thanks again.

Thanks, I will do.

Hi,

i have left the wire like it was (extreme long), just rolled it together as small as possible and it works good. I don`t even notice it anymore. A little bit wire tie (those small plastic ties are great tho press the cabel together) does it well :)

But i am thinking of cutting it completely away to the smal length i need from Trackclip to Solarthing. I would also then cut away the USB Adapter witch i dont need anymore. Should everything come to maybe 7-10 cm Kabel in the end.. I will see.

I am just not sure if i would damage something but dont think so. Its just shortening and welding...

But how i said, at the moment i even don`t notice it because its not heavy and because of good Ducktaping and wire tie not wobbling or shaking around to nerv me...

Cheers m8

So the solar panel arrived, attached it to my old dog-eared G35 for testing as the G930 will be arriving later hopefully but probably on monday :(.

The solar panel is only held on by string but when the G930 arrives it will be attached via a velcro pad, the wire was shortened using the instruction in the website I linked in my last post and then wrapped in a elastic cord to fix it in place.

So far so good, the solar panel will always be facing the window so it should get light from that and it can be unplugged when not in use.

Now I am off to test the trackclip, but so far so good thanks BumBumSale :D

Had a hairy moment when I turned on the track IR and found the lights didnt go on :(

Turns out I had forgotten to unplug the track IR so it was running all night long, a 5 min direct recharge and it worked fine again :D

P.S. Forgot to mention that I didn't charge the solar battery it really shouldn't have been a surprise that it had run out :D

Hi Krupi,

so it`s working fine and now u have a wireless TrackclipPro like u wanted.

Cheap solution and functionally even in the Dark, sunless UK :)
Problem solved...

Thxs for the link to Cord shortening, will try it too.

Cheers BBS

Yeah its working very well atm thanks again for the advice.

the cord shortening has done the trick but I might make it a bit nice when the G930 arrives :D.

No thanks for that, ur welcome.

Yeah, the cordthing looks much more better now with that technique. Oh, u will love it on the G930, agreat Headset and very comfortable, even with a 3-shining-LED-Special-Solarplaint-Ugly-looking-thing-on the top ;)

Cheers
