[Offtopic] Solar phone chargers

[Alexakos, Zach Z]

Hi Roland,

I was looking at buying one for my recent Himalayan trip, but decided on buying a phone with a 40 day battery life instead.  There were quite a few people on the trails including the local guides with solar charges for iPhones, Laptops etc... There’s quite a few different types for sale on eBay.  The more expensive laptop solar charges cost, but I would think the cheap phone solar charges available on eBay would suit your needs.

The only other way is to access a diesel/petrol power generator.


regards,
Zach Alexakos

Apologies for this off-education question but I am guessing some of you may be able to answer this.

I am thinking of buying this solar charger to charge my iPhone and camera at the #AJ2013 Scout Jamboree in Brisbane, Australia this January. We will only have intermittent access to power. Does anybody use these solar chargers to charge their devices remotely? Any thoughts or what I should be looking for? via @chriscowa
