Found a nice deal on AA solar chargers

I ordered some Sunday afternoon and received them today (Thursday) via UPS. Shipping was reasonable, thought I would pass on the link.

very interesting. the same one is sold by campmor (generally very good prices) for 17 bucks.

what's it rated for in mah and volts?

upside is that it'll do 4 at a time, downside is that it only does AA batteries.

for 15 bucks, C.Crane has one that only does 2 at a time, BUT will do AAA, AA, C, and D sizes

That is a great price, IMHO. Congratulations. And thank you for posting that link.

No, it doesn't do all sizes of batteries. However, for the price it is still a great deal. Since AA batteries are the most commonly used, at least in my household, you may consider picking up that other model offered by C.Crane along with one or two more of the AA chargers. Then you'd have the whole nine yards covered and be able to charge many batteries at once on a sunny day. Just an option to consider down the line.

And C.Crane is a great little company. I bought a little radio from them that was supposed to get great AM reception. Guess what? It was a superb little radio that did exactly what C.Crane said it would do, maybe even a little better. I highly recommend C.Crane to purchase from.

I can tell you it shows 160mah via the little meter on the panel box, sorry, I don't know the voltage.

In direct sunshine outdoors it will peg the needle, inside (behind glass) it drops to about 120mah.

With limited sun under cloudy skies, it shows very little charge.

Keep in mind I generally charge 4 batteries at a time, less batteries of course mean quicker charge time.

New..my first post...but that is a slick find. I have those old Olympus Cameras that use AA...be very nice for the cabin. Thanks. :)
