Any electronically gifted STWer out there that can help me with this one? I am doing a looong marathon next year and would like to use my Edge 205. Now the race is up to 10 hours and I am concerned that the internal battery might die on me before I finish the race.
The external power input must be light, a couple of AA batteries would do I guess. So how do I go about bodging the batteries onto a mini USB cable.
The internal battery is a 910mAh rechargeable li-ion.
you can get mini-usb charge packs for the edge 800:

Or get a mini-usb phone charger?
you could just buy one?

Thanks guys, that looks like just the solution! The cheapy £7.98 battery pack ticks the box. 🙂
Another option from Gomadic - they have a AA one as well I think.
