Looking for a solar charger. - TOF - 10 March 2012
Okey dokey, I'm looking for a Solar charger that will charge small stuff, phone, Kindle, batteries for torches and the like. I have (very) limited funds. £20 max is there something decent in that price bracket or am I in Lala land? Ta everso.

Aparently you can wire together solar light cells, you know the ones from the pound shops and they work for that, its something I,ve been meaning to do for a while myself but havent got round to it yet...
theres info available on the web about it.

E bay, Amazon and Maplins all have useful items, I bought a small solar charger for AAA and AA batterys for about £14 of Amazon

I admit it I'm a cheap skate... If I can make it for free or cheap thats me... I do actualy derive much pleasure from building my own stuff or recycling stuff to make other stuff or fixing my own car instead of paying rip off garages, I must have saved thousands doing that. Yes sometimes the homemade stuff may set on fire.....

I'm not good at DIY, so although I understand the pinciple, making is beyond me.
NR do you recommend the one you have, and if so, what brand is it?

Thanks NR, l was hoping someone had a rave review of one. LOL Anyway, I'll do more research, can't afford to waste money.

I'm also looking for one TOF, just to recharge the batteries for lights and radio. If I find a decent one I'll let you know, please let us know here if you find one you like

TOF, have you bought anything yet?
I have 2 brilliant little chargers. I bought a FreeLoader Nano for £14.99 and then got a gel case for it, which cost an additional £2.49.
Took it on a camping trip then went out and got another one. It's only small, but it has a USB port meaning any item that can be charged from a USB plug can be charged.
I used mine for charging my iphone and blackberry. You can get a small piece of kit that you can attach to the FreeLoader chargers that will charge AA and AAA batteries.
