PV Gap

Benjamin Said:

Need to find the right portable charger for my camera?

We Answered:

This is no different than looking for a power adaptor.

Look at your adaptor's specs: Voltage and polarity (say 9 V DC). Then find a solar charger that produces the same voltage and the plug fits.

Where can I get a low cost portable solar charger?

We Answered:

If you have a car charger for them, you can use a Sunlinq foldable panel. It has a cigarette lighter adapter so you can plug a car charger adapter right into it. http://store.altestore.com/Solar-Panels/…

Earl Said:

Which type of portable charger is best, solar or crank?

We Answered:

I don't actually know about either one, but as an engineer I'd suspect that either one needs some kind of output regulator. Especially a crank one, or you'd overload the battery you're charging. So I guess it's a matter of cost, whether you want to do the work, yourself, for a couple hours, or let it do the work for you. And solar doesn't work so well when there isn't a Sol to provide solar energy into the solar cells.
