View Full Version : Solar Chargers
Anyone know of a solar charger that'll do 4 AA/AAA batterys and a nokia phone?
Needs to be weatherproof, lightweight, and durable.

In fact, it's cheaper pretty much everywhere else ...
Cheers ears!
Have you got one? Does it plug straight into the phone?
How about this:

I've got one, and it comes with a lot of adaptors and even croc clips. If the connected on your phone for power is the same as the Nokia 7110 then it does fit. Either way, I'm sure you could just buy a cheapo car charger and take the connector off and rewire it.
I have used the batterysaver Powerpak all over the world and it has provided me with power for my digital camera the solar panels are suseptible to damage as they are exposed, but i built a perspex clip on cover to protect them
the batterysaver powerpak is manufactured by ICP solar:
www.icpsolar.com
and rebranded by Silva
you used to be able to buy it much cheaper direct from ICP but they have now stopped manufacturing it and it has been replaced by the I-Sun:

I still have my ICP Batterysaver but now i have a Smart Solar 500:

which appears to be much better but I havent put it though real world use yet
