Coupled with using an Android (power hog) phone the battery life of my MM controller is beginning to really bug me. I was wonder what's involved in rigging up an external and disconnectable battery which is in parallel with the original battery of the controller?
In truth I'd also prefer to rig up some sort of jack plug connector, mounted in the controller's shell, to charge the controller and the add on battery, in much the same way as the GL300 controllers of the Phantoms use a jack plug for charging. I DISLIKE all the connection make-and-breaks involved in using the controller's 'USB' port for data transmission and charging. I had thought of using a permanently connected "Y" splitter cable between the controller and phone with, perhaps, a USB A connector at the bottom of the Y but I get the impression that they do not support data transmission between the tops of the Y.
