I am considering getting a Scosche solBAT II, which is a solar charging device, to charge my NP-45 battery to a Fujifilm Z30 Finepix camera. It needs the connecting cable to be a USB however, so I was wondering if there was a battery charger that connected to both sides with USB? Thank you!

the solar panel has two alligator clamps (like jumper cables) at the end, I guess to charge a battery.
I guess I need some device I can hook the alligator clamps to that has a 115V plug on the other end I can plug the battery charger into?
Is there more to it than that?

Using conventional electricity to recharge a hybrid battery must be inherently unsound: burning coal, gas, or fuel oil to generate electricity to be transmitted over power lines with all the loss entailed can’t be very efficient. If photovoltaic cells could do it, you’d be charging up your battery while you’re at the mall or the ball game

I use a popular application on my droid that runs GPS to track my bike rides. The problem is that before I’ve gone twenty miles it KILLS my Vibrant (there will be no emergency calls dead). I need something to charge it on the go. Maybe it doesn’t HAVE to be a solar charger but ideally it would be something I could mount to my bike and use it to charge my phone while I’m riding. Hopefully it will also be rechargeable in case I’m out for forty miles (which is why I was hoping for solar). Also hopefully, it will not add any resistance to the ride. The weight is not really a factor, provided it can keep my phone going.

I will be in the back country so I won’t have access to electricity.
I already have a flexible solar array that can hang from my backpack. I am looking for control circuits that can effectively charge a digital point & shoot camera battery.
My array is 1×2′ and puts out 12 volts and up to 400 milliamps at full output about mid-day. I designed and soldered together a regulator to regulate it to 6 volts. But I need something better and more precisely regulated.
My battery is a Li-Ion 3.7V with a 1700 mAh capacity.
Thanks!

I can’t figure out how to charge a Ni Cd (B&D 18V Firestorm) battery directly with a solar panel so I’ve come up with an alternative which might or might not work. I thought I would connect an inverter (I found a nice 400W for $30) to my trucks battery and plug the B&D Firestorm battery charger into the inverter. Then I was thinking I could use a 5W solar panel to trickle charge the truck battery and keep it connected after the Ni Cd is charged to ensure the truck battery is topped off. The truck would not be running during this process. Will this solution work? Is there a better solution?

So my outdoor solar lights take AAA batteries and well so do my cable remotes. So technically couldn’t I use my solar lights to charge my remote controls?

In the long run, will using a solar charger and buying an extra battery (so I can charge one battery while using the other) for my laptop be more or less enviro friendly? Specifically, will the benifit of using the solar charger outweigh the cost to the environment of producing the extra battery and then dispossing of it in the future?

I have a 15 volt solar panel I’m using to charge my battery (below). Im thinking of buying a 60 volt solar panel.
Would a 60volt charge my battery a lot faster? Significantly faster?
