Always in need of
more power, I've decided to give this project a go from instructables.

Its a simple project but could be really useful for the iThings

Harvested an SLA battery from a failed UPS this week. Hopefully the battery is ok. Ordered the panel sockets from EBay for $18 and have sourced a battery charger which I will buy later
I have an Ammo tin from my Geocaching days.
Now just have to wait the weeks it takes to ship stuff from China. Hopefully I will have the parts before the next meeting.

Did a similar setup with a 12AH SLA to power telescope remotely last year

your welcome to borrow the Battery-Pi testing rig if you want to benchmark the SLA battery:
