I am just testing my new solar energy system
Because the ASUS UL30 needs so much less energy,
I changed the buffer system from 12V 7 AH lead acid
to 10 AA sized 2000 mAh NiMh cells.
Here about my old solar system
http://laptop.pege.org/2005-photovoltaic/
Today was a little bit cloudy, and it showed,
that the 10 AA NiMh cells fall quick below
11,6 V where the car adapter switches off.
But they recover fast, and the car adapter
switsches on again.
But this leads at the ASUS UL30 to display
always a big image on the screen about the
change of energy source.
How to avoid this?
The second question is more advanded,
at my last notebook, it was possible
to set limits for charging.
For example, hanging on the solar system,
I would not like to charge the internal
battery, the external battery is
with 24 Wh much smaller than the internal.
So it would be nice to tell the notebook
"Start charging at 20%"
And when I am back at home
"Start charging at 95%"
Is something similar possible at the ASUS UL30?
