Hello all, long time lurker short time poster here lovecpf
I'm going on a rather lengthy bicycle touring trip and I'm planning on stealth camping through most of it for convenience. What would be a good method of recharging batteries while on my trip?
I'll be taking with me my:
Gerber Infinity Ultra White 1 AA lasts a looooong time
C30 Zooming Glass Optics Cree P4 3 AAA lasts about an 1hr
12 AAA Duraloop rechargeable
12 AA Eneloop rechargeable
I'm thinking solar energy and I'm looking at the powerfilm solar panel 5w which already has a way of charging batteries or a less expensive no brand type with no battery chargers.
Either way I'll need something to charge my AAA so I'm thinking a battery bank with the AA and USB dongle to plug in a charger for my AAA. So far I'll either go with a minty boost or just buy this cheaper one although I don't know much about it.
Ideally I'd also like to charge my PSP 3000 if possible using a battery bank like the altoids minty boosts
