Solar charger for batteries?

Post by Nari70 »

Hi all. Would anyone have a recommendation for a solar charger of rechargeable AA batteries. Found a couple but not many reviews. There is a Goal zero one but it's alot of money, so for the time being I have stocked up on cheap and pricey batteries with a long shelf life. Batteries would be used for radios and lanterns.

Have a look on eBay for USB solar panels, then buy a USB battery charger.

For example - you could buy this:

And something like this to plug into it:

And it's cost you £29. Whereas GZ would charge a fup of a lot more.
