Re: Peltier Mod

Well if you don't mind hacking it up then pulling the thing apart and modding some heatsinks right onto the chips inside would be sufficient no colloer needed. If you want to cool battery(Which likely would be the worst culprit for heating up) I would say get a new battery door and you can mod the cooler into it. Yes it would be best to have direct contact but that isn't possible, and piece of copper would ore than likely cause the cooling fro the cooler to be diminished since the way the cooler is designed(At least should be) Would be to have a high thermal conductance on the top side anyways so no copper needed, and just cut the cooler down so you can have it pressed right up against the battery. I agree I want pics when done though :-p and I'm still a little worried about power but I can't remember what the adapters put out so not sure it'd be a huge issue.

Maybe if I can find one I'll try this with my 6700 that's sitting around :-p
