Looking for a good solar charger
« on: July 30, 2012, 08:51:25 PM »
I have been reading so many reviews on different solar chargers, my head hurts and I know less now then when I started,.

I am looking for a solar charger to charge my Garmin Rino while I am on an backcountry Elk trip for 10 days in Oregon. If anyone has one that they have had good luck with I would sure like  to know what is and would you reccomend i.

Thank you

See if the folks at TruSol have any. No adapter required and they make a solar sheet that works well.

Have you thought about getting the alkaline battery pack instead? I'm guessing you could get by with about 12 - 16 AAA batteries for 10 days if you turn off a bunch of the unecessary functions on the rino.

I saw something for a homemade miniature wind turbine that could be used for charging things. Just wish I could remember where I saw it.  :(
