I am going on a week long mtn. bike tour. Wondering about schematics for solar digital camera battery charger?

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!

speed trap with camera?

ok so today i was driving out on this back road, in southern california and all the sudden there is this new sign up, its solar powered about the size and shape of a speed limit sign, but its black, with a digital type face. the speed limit is 55mph and if your going 55mph or under it shows your actual speed on the sign as you pass. but if your going over 55mph it flashes slow down, then right as you pass a white light flashes! the flash came from the bottom right corner of the sign. Does it take your picture and send you a ticket in the mail. or is simply a warning? I have heard of red light camera’s, and speed trap camera’s at intersections, but a camera in a rural area on a two lane rd?

It wasn’t a portable sign, like on wheels. It was on a wooden post, just like a california speed limit sign. I hope the little white light that flashed from the bottom-right-center of the sign wasn’t a camera……

Can chargers with an Output Voltage of 5.5V / 8.4V / 12V , charge a video camera with a 9.6V ?

I am going to be shooting this event in the desert for 3 days so I wont be able to charge my camera. My camera doesn’t have an external battery pack so I cant bring extra batteries. Right now I’m talking to this guy on eBay about buying a portable solar panel off of him. The solar panel comes with many charging connectors but there are only 3 that fit the port on my camera and there voltage output is 5.5V / 8.4V / 12V. My camera requires a 9.6V. . .

So my question is wether or not it is ok to charge a device with a different voltage output? Will it work, is it safe, which one should I use out of the three provided?

Thanks!
