In the process of waterproofing this Sovereign, I think I'd like to not have to open my waterproof box if I can help it. Therefore I'd like to be able to internally charge my battery. The only thing is it gets HOT when I charge it normally. Not super hot, but quite warm. I know heat is a big killer of electronics so I want to be careful. I'm also going to be using Lithium Ion battery's if I can find them.
I'm thinking a kill switch to cut battery power to the main board during charging, and running wires with a capped plug externally to connect to the charger, perhaps out the back of the shaft.
Still not sure if the heat produced from the battery charging will do damage to the main board because its air and water tight sealed.
Anyone know if Lithium battery's charge coor? My CTX lithium battery creates much less heat when charging and same with my iPhone which has me thinking that lithium batteries charge cooler.
