Please share links if you have them. How well does your solar setup work?

How long to charge an 18650 from 3.3 to 4.2?

Thanks

The solar panel is made for charging car battery. It came from a camping store. Not sure how many watts my solar panel puts out but its basically one of these

The inverter clips on to a car battery and puts out dc just like your wall sockets

These are not the exact models I have but the same type of devices

Plugging my nitecore into the inverter which is running off a spare 4wd car battery, charges the 18650 just like it does at home.

This setup kept the cars sound system + 4 phones 3 ecigs 3 torches going for 10 days with no hiccups

Cottonpicker from another forum I'm on makes some very nice ones:

I have his smallest charger for some specialized batteries and it does the job very well.

Just do some research before going that way though, or you might end up with a charger that will take ages to charge your battery. He's very helpful, so just ask him if so and so will work for your application before you buy.

He's a very helpful guy. We e-mailed a couple of times before I temporarily shelved my plans.
