[sci.electronics] External Battery Query

jeffg@shamu.WV.TEK.COM (Jeff C. Glover) (03/23/90)

I've rigged an old portable 'scope battery to act as an external battery
for my NEC MultiSpeed EL computer.  My question - will this configuration
run into any problems as the external battery discharges and the
internal battery charges?  I.e. will there be a "backflow" of charge
from the internal battery that damages either battery or computer?

I've been using the setup for some time.  The external battery works
great - I get about 30 hours of use from it before I need to recharge,
and then an additional 2 hours from the internal.
