And finally, to fool the charger unit into
thinking it has a proper Pleo battery pack inserted, take a wooden match
and cut two bits 1cm long. Superglue them together and, when you’re
using a home made pack, jam them into the little rectangular hole in the
charger to push the tiny switch inside to ‘on’. Then you can balance the
pack on the contacts and hold it in place with a rubber band, When you
want to use a real Pleo pack, simply pop the match back out with a pin.
I’ve made three packs like this and they run Little Jim for an hour and a half each and cost less than £15 a pack.
That’s about a third of the cost of a ‘proper’ one, if you can get hold of one (they are rare beasts in the UK!)
