+DarkLord Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Anyone ever heard of them, or seen their product? Here is a listing I found from googling: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | DRAGONWARE SOFTWARE INC | announces the | STACY INTERNAL BATTERY! | | | This two part upgrade for the stacy is 2.2 pounds! The "Dragon Battery | kit" will include a dealer installed cable and jack and one 2.2 amp hour | battery. On a stock Stacy this will give over two hours of use on one | charge. The kit also includes a fast charge option that will charge the | battery in about two to three and a half hours while you use the computer | or sit it on a shelf. If you use the standard Stacy power jack the | battery will be kept at top charge at all times after an initial fourteen | hour slow charge or a quick charge! The Dragon Battery Kit will have an | SRP of $94.95. The Dragon Battery alone will have an MSRP of $74.95 | | For more information on the Dragon Battery kit for the Atari Stacy write: | | DragonWare Software Inc. | P.O.

+DarkLord Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Was going through some old Current Notes magazine issues and fold some relevant items: Interesting stuff there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Falcon Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Old thread I know... But does anybody know how to mod the Stacy for batteries? Best regards, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 I seem to remember a couple of users "jury rigging" some setups but nothing specific. Only a few of the first models had the battery setup complete - after those, Atari removed the internal stuff once they figured out that even with new batteries the uptime was horrible. Good luck.

Tillek Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 My sister has one of these and I've considered picking one up to see how well it works on the STacy (and maybe the other machines)..... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078T1Q18D/ref=dp_prsubs_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tillek Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 That actually looks interesting! My sister bought hers of QVC, so naturally there was the whole sales pitch program.... I don't remember the exact times, but it supposedly would run a big screen HDTV for many hours, so I'm guessing you'd get a few hours at least out of a STacy.

+DarkLord Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Definitely have to have a look at that - next paycheck with some OT on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
