Solar Power Battery chargers

[tufftie]

Hi, sorry not sure if i've posted this one in the right section or not...?

I'm going to have to get (okay I should be using them anyway, regardless...) some solar powered battery chargers...and a mobile phone one...does anyone have any advice on how to chose these..which are the better ones to go for etc?

I love my solio one, it was worth its weight in gold in Madagascar - I could even charge it up stuck to the window on the flight over there!
and you can use it to charge lots of things if you have the tips and worst come to the worst if there's no sun you can charge it up from the mains.

Hi Badgerwatcher - sorry for some reason i've only just noticed your reply At the moment all I know is that you can get battery chargers that you can leave out in the light to charge up various size batteries. Will be finding out more today, so will let you know

Hi Badgerwatcher - I think the best thing is for me to point you to the Centre for Alternative Technology website. It's a mine of information and they have lots of different solar powered chargers
