I want to, but could someone tell a link to one that will be the right kind for KR808d-1s, both short and long?
Also, is there any solar thing that could be substituted for a power strip and used to run a KR808d-1 electric hookah-doodle, or "pass
through," in the vernacular?
This is the link to the one catlady uses.

And I've quoted her post here:
@Outre, @Xaria, Solar charger on Amazon: Amazon.com: Premium Solar Charger - Ultra Thin Solar Powered Backup Battery and Charger for Cell Phones, iPhone, iPod, and Most USB Powered Device - Also Includes Built-in LED Reading Light and Window / Windshield Suction Cups: Electronics
I was able to charge 2 xl auto 808's, 1 standard 808, and put a 2/3 charge on my cell phone before this thing was drained. All 4 devices were drained when I put them on to charge.
It's probably possible to find a solar powered charger with the output needed for a passthru, but the question is how long it would be able to power the passthru. I suspect that it would drain pretty fast, and it would do so a lot faster than it would collect a charge from the light. It would also need to be able to collect a charge at the same time it was draining by being used for the passthru.
In the event of zombie attacks, to use your pass-thru, you might be better off sitting in your car with the passthru connected to the power adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter. That will drain the car battery, of course.
A UPS - Uninterrupted Power Supply - might be useful. You keep it plugged in so the back-up battery it has stays charged while there is power. If the power goes out, then you can use it to power your chargers. I don't have a link for that, though, and am not sure how long it would power a pass-thru.
There are also back-up battery packs which do the same thing, as long as they are charged before the power goes out.
I'd suggest starting a thread on the subject and asking. I'm sure the folks into Mods would have all the answer you need, and many recommendations for back-up power.
I haven't been at this long but what I have learned and what everyone will tell you have a backup just in case. There are times that I have been without a battery and thought crap what am I going to do now. Thankfully I wasn't far from home but the fact is they are not meant to last forever so have a backup just in case.
If you are using KR808's, you can get a PCC that will charge a spare battery. Basically, you charge the PCC at home, then take it with you and use it charge batteries while you are away from home. Some PCC's can be used up to 4 times without needing to be recharged themselves. The charging cases are pretty small and fit easily into a pocket or purse.
