Who Can Live Without a Solar Battery Charger?

My world literally stops when a battery dies on one of these gadgets. It is great to have these items, but having a dead flashlight in the dark with a flat tire is really difficult.  Somehow I have always been one of those people to whom dead batteries afflict.

I used to use rechargeable batteries in a wall charger, but this never helped when I had to re-charge batteries on a long trip or when I was outside and away from conventional energy for an extended period of time. To top it off I was always forgetting to plug it in; instead always putting it on a windowsill near the outlet.

The first solar battery charger I purchased was last year, right before our camping trip. I brought it with us, and we used it every day for pretty much everything you can think of. I don't know how we managed any camping trips without it.

My wife was able to charge her laptop with the one we bought. While I'd rather she paid attention to nature, not having her complain endlessly about bugs was a benefit, as was the children entertaining themselves with their toys on the few rainy days.

Our solar battery charger was a lifesaver when my mobile phone cut off in the middle of nowhere and my car stopped working. I was alone, but I charged up my phone battery for a while and was able to make a rescue me call to my wife!
