Where Can I Get A......? A reliable solar-powered battery charger for emergencies.

[BanjoMan]

Looking for a good solar-powered charger to charge my e-cig batteries while camping or in case the power goes out. Would like to find something with a standard usb connector.

Thanks!

p.s. A crank-powered device with the proper connector would be nice too.

Thanks for the tip...I was wondering how many pcc cases I would need to take with me camping this summer. For most places we will have ele., but some won't. Thanks I was wondering how to solve this problem

I just picked up one of these...we get lots of cloudy days here!

DealExtreme: $8.36 AA / AAA Batteries USB Charger

I figure the USB out will recharge my batts and pcc, and in a pinch I could use regular alkalines.

ThinkGeek has some. A bit pricier than what was already posted though. Can't post links yet.... just go find ThinkGeek and search for USB solar.

Cheaperthandirt.com sells a ton of these things

Follow-up:

I bought one of the Scoshe Solbat2 units through Amazon to try it out. 1200mAh battery with a standard usb out port. It only takes about 4 hours to fully charge it with the supplied usb cable, but approx. 4-5 DAYS via the solar panel. Hopefully as the technology improves the charging time will as well...
