[Power] Charging XO-1.0 From 12V DC Battery

Richard,

One quick follow up.

Actually, we have about two hundred AC chargers at the school, half with US style 2 prong plug, and half with UK style large 3 prong plugs. I'm not sure how they got so many. They never use more than 10 chargers at a time, so I plan to cut the DC jacks off of some of the unused AC chargers. I know this is a waste of a good AC charger, but it is the easiest and lowest cost approach for us at this time.
