[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1574665, member: 56379"] Thanks for adding those reader comments from that webpage in your earlier post. I LOVE the authors logic...10's of thousands of views and no reports of fires or explosions so far... Firstly...many of those viewers may not have battery issues. You & I looked at the article out of curiously...and now a bunch of Mac-Forums members will look at it as well (out of curiosity).:) Lots of views...does not necessarily translate into lots of folks "poking the hole".;) But...hey. As long as the author mentions that there is risk involved...then folks giving the solution a try should be aware that there is some danger. To be honest...I haven't done very much with them lately. With Wintertime & snow...I don't mess with them too much. And I haven't made the investment yet into getting some deep cycle marine batteries. Hoping to find some good used cheap one's on Craig's List.:) But I agree...at a potential 45 watts/set (I have two)...that's enough power to charge almost any rechargeable device...and on a good day (Sunny)...should be enough "juice" to run a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. Or at least allow it to greatly extend battery life while using the computer outside.:) Great for camping too!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
