Ah! That kind of sours it for me. I wouldn't want to rely upon such
magic. Clearly you couldn't. Nice idea, but I would want one with a
manually selectable voltage or voltage range. Preferably with a digital
readout of the charging current. Perhaps a user selectable maximum
current setting, would be a good idea too...
