I came across this whilst trawling a discount shopping website... buy to save, y'know
Lenmar Chugplug curious device, takes a 110-240v dc input from the wall has 4ah 11.1v lipo battery plugs in to your macbook charger spits out 110-250v dc I guess the charger is fine running on DC... I wonder if it'd be worth trying to pull one apart to use the charger and battery, and bypass the dc-dc output Usually $150, now $30AUD, might grab one if I'm feeling silly with money |

A 4Ah lithium pack for €20 is not to be sniffed at, even if the rest of it is no use.

I like your thinking - but it might not be easy to (electrically) separate the charging circuit "bit" from the up-converter "bit" - if its all on one PCB (most likely). |

Hmm ... dunno - I got a 5Ah 3S Lipo pack from Hobbyking for just over £20 - which works very well on a 2020 amp. Well - I already had a Turnigy balancing Lipo charger though. |

Indeed, I would just go with a charger/battery pack combo from HK.
