The only way you can achieve it without such mods, is by shutting down all radios, turning brightness to minimum, etc. Basically, you can't use more than ~ 50 mA, and was usable only in battery hotswap proof-of-concept (which was just that - PoF - as it was more convenient to shut device down for swapping, anyway).

Thank you, Estel. I think we had this conversation before but I had forgotten there was a definite restriction due to hardware. Being naturally stubborn, I thought it would be possible due to the fact I wish it were. I will stop now though.

Hopefully the supply of batteries won't dry out!

For some reason I like running my hardware without batteries, including IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads and Zaurus SL-C1000.
