Yes I could do that, but I want to keep the battery in a good
condition. Here's a more detail account... I have the AC charger
attached to a X-10 module (home automation) - I want to allow the MP
to use battery for certain amount of time til it's low then turn on
the charger via X-10, allow a charge up then turn off the AC and
allow battery, the problem is that when the AC charger is plugged in
to the MP and then turn you on the power to the AC charger (via X-10)
the MP goes into 'waiting' mode -- it won't charge until you
physically unplug and plug the AC connector from the MP. Is their a
away to avoid this?
