Backlight your ICE Charger

Hey Guys,

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.

Picture of EL installed in ICE...

Instructions will be provided. Parts will be boxed up and wrapped in bubble foam ready for mailing. (Max of 2 EL backlights per box for safety.)

Price: All for just $12.00 US!!!
Shipping: $6 for regular air parcel and $11 for 4 day express.

Contact me by either PM or send an email to paul.both@sympatico.ca. My paypal ID is the same as the email address.

Thanks,
PB

Here is a link to the charger: Duratrax Intellipeak ICE Charger

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.
