Neopixel recharge method?

[Avidgrant]

I looked on here, but maybe I missed it. I made a few sabers a while back- mostly with NB boards and Tri Cree- and they all have recharge ports in them. I was about to start work on a new saber and really want to do a NeoPixel. I did not see anything in the NB4 or Prizim manuals about wiring a recharge port specifically in a Neopixel blade. Is it the same process? Are there any alternative options? I was thinking due to the blade plug- and the way it connects- there might be a way to recharge through the same "interface"- the TCCS neopixel hilt and blade side adapters? Any thoughts?

You can use the recharge ports, they wore up the same. The only “issue” is that there is a real question of if the JST connectors can withstand the hig amperage that a Neopixels require. Personally, I have hard wired the battery to the recharge ports.

by hardwire I assume you mean solder and wire correct? So there is no "other" way? or method to recharge a saber like this? nothing through the hilt and blade side neopixel adapters right?

Hilt and blade side Neopixel adaptors? I though we were discussing recharging the battery.

yeah- a long while back I thought I saw somewhere where you could charge the battery through a connection to the hilt side of the neopixel adapter? you remove the blade- and plug in a recharger with a modified "blade side" plug. easy peasy- no need for a recharge port. was I having delusions of grandeur?

I think may be suffering some residual carbon poisoning there, Han.
