lol, exactly, I was about to say. But for real, I'm a researcher in renewable energy and I work with solar So this was just a toy experiment. Next step would be to ditch the inverter and ac psu and run directly from the battery or charge controller and connect a solar panel.
Yeah that’s the why part. You’re throwing away like 40+% of your input power, as I’m sure you know. A buck/boost off the battery can go right to your Android device and be way more efficient.
Do you mean the bench power supply? Yeah, it's nice. I use it to simulate solar panel and battery. The cobra is a crappy little inverter but I have a box of them and apparently it works.
Nice, I should be getting it tomorrow or in a few days as a second phone. My daily is armor ultra 28 thermal, currently at 5% battery, probably have another 30 minutes left, after like 12hr usage
If that's a 20v power brick, there is an HP charger that takes both 11-32v DC and 100-240V AC to output 20v. Your eBay search terms are 698471-001 / 696960-001 / HSTNN-DA36. You probably want to get one with the full set of cables, but if you have enough DC jack adapter tips and jank you could probably get it working here without those..
Why
Science isn’t about why, it’s about why not!

Yes, that's for V2. Stay tuned.
Now that’s cool
I just picked up that power supply for my kids Christmas present. Has it worked well for you? Also, obligatory r/redtechengineering

Hey another uleFone user! (I have the power armor 18T)

You need to add duct tape to secure the wires and maybe a fork as a conductor to get this higher on the redneck scale.
Thanks for advice. 🫡
LOL! you're welcome. Be careful with the fork. If you get it wrong you'll start commenting on Reddit posts... 😒

it says 12v 4a input on the display, I will try to run it from my solar charge controller 12 volts output.
