Title: solar battery charger
Post by: StevieM on April 28, 2009, 12:48:54 PM
I was buying a new soldering iron and came across this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Solar-Charger-for-AA-AAA-C-D-Ni-Cd-Ni-Mh-Batteries-NEW_W0QQitemZ360150765464QQihZ023QQcategoryZ41981QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262
Quite nifty I think for anyone that's out and about a bit with no way to charge batteries and stuff.
Wondering if it could power the MBR too?
Mind you, it says 'on a nice sunny day charges in about 6 hours', not much good here a lot of the time then :D

That sounds great. Good for around 2 weeks a year in the UK  :D

yeah same here, sounds cool. There is some money to save on power... Just not in the UK or Denmark!

truly a "green" product-i'd buy one
hope it doesn't get too hot though-good idea putting the batteries in the back

With how fast the Micro BR eats batteries, I wonder how long rechargable batteries would last.
