Hadcock Sun, 23 Nov 2008 00:53:04 +0000 http://www.7gadgets.com/?p=5599#comment-3097 US Navy Retired Electronics Weapons Systems Tech. Really Nice Design. Would be OK for emergencies, But be aware. Can NOT use when charging! A 12 Volt 10Ah battery charging at 5 Watt Rate (Solar Output) is only .3007 Amps (1/3 Amp) and this is in BRIGHT sunlight. Soooooo, it will take over 40 hours to charge this thing. This is 5 whole days that you will be pointing this thing at the sun, if the sun shines brightly for the whole 8 hours every day where you live. (Unless you live in extreme polar regions during daylight then it will only be two days, Yikes!) Available on Amazon Search for $129 Selling on eBay for $200 Ouch!
