Ed,

I'd be very cautious around Li-Poly batteries. From what I know, they
require a very careful charging program. Most of them have temperature
sensing and a special chip built-in that signals back to the charger. On the
other hand, your panel is very low power so maybe it's OK. I really don't
know, but I just want you to take caution.

Hello all,

I plan to conduct some tests. I have a small solar panel that puts out
50ma maximum. I'll connect it to my "pimped-out KX1" and see how it
charges the 11.8v Li-Poly Battery. More to come...
