nope...it's purely manual.
What I've done is I leave my rechargeable battery
connected to a lightbulb and a resister in series (I
forget the value, but it's small...something like 10k
but 5 watts) then put the contraption in a box with a
hole in it. When light no longer shines through the
hole, the battery is dead (I put a red lens over the
hole to make it look pretty) then I charge the battery
and do the whole thing over again. It helps to have a
spare battery (or the "AA" carrier while doing this.
