How to wire a Nano Biscotte

[Silver Serpent]

I would use a resistor. Fully charged, a li-ion battery puts out around 4.2v.

http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com...1391#post51391 has the instructions on wiring up a recharge port. Just be sure your switch LED negative is run to the green wire in the diagram (the same as your NB), so that it'll shut off when you insert the kill key.

Thanks so much Silver Serpent! That helps a lot. I'll make sure to get a proper resistor for the LED's.

This information is so helpful! For the sake of not making a new thread, I thought this would be a good opportunity to ask a noobish question , After doing some calculations I was wondering if it would be okay to use a p4 green (4.1v) with 4 NiMH aaa batteries (4.8v) without a resistor if I set the drive adjustment on the NB to 873.8125 from the standard 1023, I believe that's more than the required 80% right?? I just ask because I wanna use the MWS instead of doing this myself and thought it would be pesky to fit a resistor in there

You would need a resistor, because the typical Vf for a green is more like 3.6-3.8V. The 4.1V is the MAX it could be. So a little work is in your future, unless you decide to go with a Li-Ion battery.

Fishsticks.. well thank you I guess I'm going to have to suck it up! Fortunately I wont have to do any on board soldering though ... I've had terrible experiences in the past

It takes some skill to do board soldering and do it well.

Indeed it does!
