Building a Laptop Trickle Charger?

Posted by Cliff on from the recharging-on-the-go dept.

chimpo13 asks: "In 18 months, I'm planning on riding around the world on a 1966 Ducati 250 single. I have some problems, but there's one that can hopefully be answered on Slashdot. I think my Powerbook G3 will take the vibration of the bike, but I'm trying to find out how to trickle charge the laptop battery on my bike. It's a 6 volt bike that will be converted to a 12 volt. Has anyone built a trickle charger for a laptop?"

    Actually, that's not quite what the article is looking for. Can that trickle charger interface with a Powerbook? Doesn't look like it.

    Calm down before you flip somebody off.
