No, no there is no On or OFF and NO CHARGING needed.

It starts producing Energy when it gets hitted by any lightsource and stops producing when no light - that Easy. U can charge it if u want to to use it as an small akku or energy source, sure, but u don`t need to charge it!


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...

They sell the solar charger here Krupi, maybe you could give it a go and report back!

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

I gonna try this first

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

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

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

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.
