I'm using a Powerbook 1xx 7.5V 24W charger to charge my Newton. This is
probably too much CAPACITY for the newton: the brick doesn't even get
warm.
I could probably charge three newtons simultaneously before the brick
gets
warm.
All I did was make an adaptor with a powerbook size female in line
socket
to the newton sized plug. Works fine.
In the car, I use a Radio Shack purchased 2.0A 12V to 7.5 V stepdown
regulated power brick. Works fine too.
I also use regular NiCds with a small plate to depress the charge button
in the battery case.
