Getting ready to put together another wind powered yard light, but this time I want to add batteries and a microcontroller (fading RGB LED). I'm not planning on switching the LEDs off during the day, but still a little concerned about over charging the batteries. Haven't really seen anything simple or small scale. Planning on 3 AA NiMh batteries (3.6 volts). The whole mess with be mounted on the vane, and rotate freely.
Any ideas? Guess it's not too important, and could be added later. Worst thing could happen would be battery-juice leaking out...
