@pearshapes Unfortunately, you need more advanced control than that. If a lithium cell ever discharges below about 2.5 volts, it will never be able to charge back to its full capacity again. It doesn't matter how slowly it discharges to that point.
@pearshapes I'm not sure exactly how they arrange them. I would look up the part number if there's one printed on it.
@pearshapes Make sure of that, if you can. While overdischarging isn't as risky as overcharging, especially in terms of fire potential, it can still cause problems.
@pearshapes I have to advise against doing that, though, unless it's a protected 18650. A bare lithium cell hooked up like that runs the risk of over-discharging.
@pearshapes Warm is usually preferred, but I can go either way.
@pearshapes That sounds wonderful!
@pearshapes Can I have some cake too? That sounds delicious.
@Nine Does Sony have good customer support? This seems like a case to call support.
@srol I can't disagree with that!
@srol That room-key power switch is actually a pretty good idea. It makes sure you don't waste power by leaving lights on when you leave the room, and it helps you make sure you don't forget your key by giving a very good indication of whether you took the key or not--just check whether the lights are on.
The rest of it though, that's pretty damn creepy.
@lizardsquid Hi! How are you doing today?
@lizardsquid Good morning! Or evening, there.
@Dex I could see that as a power-up.
@pearshapes It's just reflecting off both the front and back surfaces of the mirror. The reflective coating is applied to the back, because that way the glass protects it from being damaged.
@monorail Definitely!

@pearshapes I could point you to http://falstad.com/circuit/ if you want to play around with something that gives you a better idea of exactly what happens?
@pearshapes oh no, I'm sorry if I dissuaded you from experimenting!
@pearshapes Oh, then we should point out that transformers won't work unless it's AC going into it.
@pearshapes Okay. Just don't mess with mains power unless you know what you're doing, alright?
