Just found out about these.  I think they will work out as a great "up sale" for my scrolled clocks.  Info from Clockit as follows:

 

"Our AA and C Battery to Electric Converters will easily turn a battery-operated clock movement into an electric movement. Just take out the battery and insert one of the converters! 

The conversion is achieved by BACK-UP's patent pending external AC-DC power supply, which will simultaneously operate the clock movement and trickle charge its internal Ni-Cad battery. BACK-UP ensures that the clock movement will continue to function in the event of a power failure; essentially making it an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) for the movement. 1-year warranty. "

 

Whatcha think folks?  I'll bet scrollers are going to love it.

Read that e mail from Steve Good too. Thought it was quite an interesting idea. Looks like it could be easily used for single cell battery lights and such.

Cool!! Thanks, Fred!

Hmmmm,

I am perfoozed.  

This is so that one  can  plug a battery powered clock in?

Isn't the thing about battery powered clocks  that one can place them independent of any consideration for power outlets  & get rid of the cords??  

They run like more than a year on just one of the little batteries as it is.

Yup, I am perfoozed.

Kinda what I was thinking......

Just another item for the "gadget freaks".  I'm just the reporter.

I wonder if it came in "D" sized and put with some D sized nicads my flashlights would last longer?

I can think of many applications for this new technology in my sho....oh, wait a minute.

Only ones in the ad were the AA and C - great idea, though Dragon
