Solar battery charger that doesn't take long time to charge camera batteries?

Would you happen to know of a solar charger that you can carry on yourself while hiking that doesn't take a long time to charge your camera batteries in the field?

Another question.  Have any of you tried one of those 250watt batteries with solar?

That's an interesting question but would have to do some research on that.

they make small solar generators but it would break your back trying to carry them.s they the 30lbs or so.

So after so many years of doing this or that and life itself getting in my way, I am now at the point where just slowing down and doing things I have put off I have concluded that its time to become creative and do what I want.
Thanks for giving me a place to get started. :-)

Did a quick check found one that might work for camera batties it is for cell phones? it seems like you can hang to on your backpack while moving to a location and it will charge as you go.

Anker 21w 2 port USB that weighs in at maybe 1 lb it is foldable and not that larger. that comes in at around USD 70 dollars.

Yes, that is the one. I think there were very others as well.

Thanks that made me think it would be nice to be prepared when out and about.

How long would that take to charge a camera battery, assuming sun is strong?

Handshake, Well, I just got one and will try it out to see how it goes, but at this time, it's been rainy here in the NW, so I could not do a proper review of this unit. I also have a Blavor and going to review that as well.

stay tune :thumbsup:
