What are the odds of y'all selling a USBcable for those of us who have portable battery chargers for phones/tablets? I have 2 8400mAh batteries and can't justify another that will power only my iFly...

thanks,

Chad

Since your cell phone batteries are probably in the ~5V range, and the iFly needs 12V to operate, you're going to need more than a cable. You'll also need a DC/DC converter, which would be bulky, inefficient, and expensive...if you could find one for this application.

You may not be able to justify it, but the laws of physics will strongly argue for it.

OK, I take it back. Maybe not so expensive, and not as bulky as I thought. You might be able to cobble something together with a bit of creative Googling.

Here's a start: http://www.ebay.com/bhp/5v-to-12v-ste...
