I'm currently putting together a group buy for EL displays that are perfect to backlight your ICE charger. In the past I used LED's and a piece of acrylic. However, I've found a small inverter and an EL light that are perfect for your ICE charger.
First picture is of my ICE Charger with LED backlight (you'll notice that the colour isn't very even, has 4 bright points where the LED's are):
Second picture is of a friends ICE Charger with EL backlight (you'll notice that the colour is very even, same level of brightness over the entire screen):
Anyway, if your interested, and want to mod your ICE charger to have something it should have had in the first place, let me know. What would be included in the kit would be:
Dark Blue EL Backlight
13.5V(max) Inverter
5" of wire from the inverter to the Power Points
Backlight pre-wired to the inverter.
umm... I know this is a really basic question but what is an ICE charger?

umm... I know this is a really basic question but what is an ICE charger?
the ice charger is a name brand charger from intellipeak...
about a $125 or so .....and well worth it!
it makes all the diffrence with intellect AAA batteries IMO....
As mentioned, it's probably the best bang for the buck charger's available. One of it's only flaw's is the lack of a backlight for the LCD screen. This can make it very difficult to see if the lighting isn't perfect.
