    The Remarkable CSS555

    The CSS555 is a micropower programmable version of the 555 
    family of timer ICs. It operates at a current under 5 µA 
    and a supply voltage from 5.5V down to 1.2V. These qualities
    make it particularly well-suited for long lasting battery
    and small solar powered projects.

My powerbank keepalive connects an oversized battery and a DIY mp3 
player:

The mp3 powerbank lasts about a month between re-charges. Perhaps the 
CSS555 will enable it to last for two months between re-charges?

A while ago John Larkin suggested replacing the powerbank with a 
supercapacitor. But a supercapacitor's size and safety factor keeps me 
from stuffing into my pants pocket for all weather wilderness walkabouts,
for the time being.
