Hi all just joined thought I would share with you my super capacitor power supply for the x rocker gaming chair.
My son had a x rocker gaming chair for Christmas for his xbox, he uses the chair wireless and the x rocker wireless transmitter needed 2 x aa 1.5v batteries, what I was finding was that after around 5 - 6 hours these batteries had run out.
So.. I bought a 2.7 volt 360 farad super capacitor from maplins for £12.99 I charge it up with this solar capacitor charger to 2.6 volts (depending on how much sun there is time varies ) on a good sunlight day it can be charged to the 2.6 volts in less than 20 minutes.
What made me do this was how much I was paying for batteries... wait I here you say get rechargeable batteries, yes I could but you still need electricity to charge them, solar is free once you have bought the equipment.
Any input would be great good or bad.
