David, my AC/adapter weighs in at just under 120 grams.  I have a 3765 ipac that I still haven't used much.  A friend bought a charger for his for about 30 dollars if I remember right.

Being cheap, I went to a surplus store and found one for $7.95.

The charger that comes with the unit puts out 5 volts at up to 2 amps.  The one I found puts out 5 volts at 1.6 amps.  That's enough.  It might take longer to fully charge if the batt was really low.

It can plug into anything from 100 volts to 240 volts.

You need to make sure the plug is the right polarity.  The one I found is  Backpack bantam model AUA-05-1600.  I'm going to keep my eyes open for any more I can find.

Sounds to me like the extra stuff you carry would take up the space of a conventional ETD...those AC/adapters are not light...
I love the idea of all my records and ETD on one device...I'm going to wait bit though

The most important thing to remember when it comes to battery, is take the time to turn the backlight OFF whenever possible. I tune up to 5 pianos with this setting. I carry an extra charger/AC adapter and a 6' extension cord in my tuning kit at all times and I also bought the car lighter adapter. So far, I've never been caught out of juice with the iPaq. For me, the light weight and size alone makes it the ETD of choice.

Can you use the iPac while the charger is plugged in or do you have to
disconnect the charger prior to use?



Yes, you can.  I do it all the time.  Sometimes it's hard to find a convenient outlet for the charger, but not usually.
