I think the battery I've been using is knackered. Now it is fully charged it is only giving off 4.5v, and it should be 6v. I think there are probably four individual cells inside the batter, 1.5v each and one of them is dead. So giving off less than 5v means I can't power my raspberry pi with it. I need the battery as somewhere to store the energy that's coming off the solar panel. So I need to get a new battery, might get a car battery or a motorbike battery or something.
raspberry pi: Credit card sized super cheap computer, awesome.
