Thanks for the link. I too would like to know if this panel would charge the PV batteries.

Judging by the power stats, it looks like this could be used to run anything normally run from a USB or mini-USB, providing you have the proper cables. Would be great for camping!

Keep in mind how solar-powered systems work though. The solar panels charge a capacitor, which is then regulated for draw; it's like a battery. You wouldn't be able to prop this thing open with no charge and get enough power to run a passthrough, so don't expect to use it in your daily routine.

but on a full charge it should work then?? it can charge from the sun or pluged into a wall outlet, it would be cool if it would work like a Kensington Portable Power Supply, and be able to charge it with the sun, great for camping.

Thanks Elvinone,

I would only use it during a prolonged power outage...can't justify it yet, but it is good to know....can't justify it cause I am too busy buying PV backups

looking around for solar options lead me to the: "Icetech I101 Portable Solar Charger/Battery" on Amazon for $25. I just got the Kensington Ultra Portable Battery for a bit more, and doesn't have the solar option.

sorry for the off topic but anyone have good experience on purchasing from this supplier (bigboxstore). they have some DSE901 with a good price.
