A slightly different tack on this...
Does anyone know which of the 2 power connections is involved in the "discharge" people see with battery extenders and rechargeable batts.
ie. is it 5V USB power connection, or the 5.4V AC power connection that permits this reversal situation to occur.
On a different note.. does the cradle pass USB power directly, ie. ohm out to 0 (will check this when I get home I guess) or does the cradle impose any current limiting? If not, then one could disconnect the AC power connections inside the 3rd party cable and have an effective other cable source. It would also imply that the Axim itself is imposing a current limit via the USB pins, but that you would lose the ability to chrage and sync at the same time (not such a big deal IMO).
For the Dell cradle.. when you are in the cradle, WITHOUT the AC power connected, does the USB power supply the Axim? ie. is the USB power being used to power the Axim (but not charge) while the device is on?.. ie you could run forever this way?
Thanks,
Mike
