Once solar cells start making enough power that the amount of power produced in less than optimal conditions amounts to jack squat (compared to the device drain), devices will start coming with them.]]>Feb 12th 2009 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/ds-lite-solar-panel-mod-lets-you-leave-the-psu-at-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/ds-lite-solar-panel-mod-lets-you-leave-the-psu-at-home/Feb 12th 2009 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/ds-lite-solar-panel-mod-lets-you-leave-the-psu-at-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/ds-lite-solar-panel-mod-lets-you-leave-the-psu-at-home/
it's a fun project that does little in the long run, a radio shack time waster.]]>Feb 12th 2009 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/ds-lite-solar-panel-mod-lets-you-leave-the-psu-at-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/ds-lite-solar-panel-mod-lets-you-leave-the-psu-at-home/
DS Lite work 5-19 hour on 3.7v 1200mAh (So it's using 3.7v 240mA to 63mA).
Charge 6v 80mA is big significant. Especially when you set light to low and play less than 20 hour a day.

3v 40mA is about $4. I think it's consider inexpensive.
And by add 2 diode make standard charge work.]]>Feb 13th 2009 4:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/ds-lite-solar-panel-mod-lets-you-leave-the-psu-at-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/ds-lite-solar-panel-mod-lets-you-leave-the-psu-at-home/Feb 12th 2009 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/ds-lite-solar-panel-mod-lets-you-leave-the-psu-at-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/ds-lite-solar-panel-mod-lets-you-leave-the-psu-at-home/Feb 12th 2009 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/ds-lite-solar-panel-mod-lets-you-leave-the-psu-at-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/ds-lite-solar-panel-mod-lets-you-leave-the-psu-at-home/

Also, if you aren't playing with it, would the DS heat up a lot from sitting in the sun?

For all of you people saying "This will not replace the power cord", you're wrong. Ever since I've done this, I've never had to charge it. Ever. And I play it with the backlight all the way up. This is not a time waster at all!]]>Feb 12th 2009 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/ds-lite-solar-panel-mod-lets-you-leave-the-psu-at-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/ds-lite-solar-panel-mod-lets-you-leave-the-psu-at-home/
