I know that there are bigger ones that you can power your laptop from, and actually keep working from it, but they are very expensive for me. So I thought – maybe a small one (that is used for ipods, psp, mobiles etc) would work (not for running your laptop directly from it, but leaving it to charge during the day, and using it in the evening – this is when I use it most) Is it going to work, do you think?
cheers

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?

Hello, I have a netbook, was looking to pick out a solar charger for it. I have no idea what I need to look for =
The (wall) charger says: AC 100-240 V 1.1A DC 19.5 V 2.05A. So how would I know (assuming this is the correct information to look at) what power solar charger I am looking for? What’s the MINIMUM strength the solar charger would need to be able to get (ideally) for it to actually charge my laptop (with ideal sunlight)? I don’t mind if it takes a day of sunlight to get a full charge… I believe the laptop battery is 6 cell.
I’ll obviously get a slightly more powerful one (to make up for iffy sunlight etc). If I’m missing an information here, let me know, I’ll add more.
Thanks for your assistance =)

I need a solar charger for an Acer one aspire netbook that can power it directly from the sun with no battery in between. The power adapter for the netbook says it drawn 30 watts. I’ve tried using a 30 watt solar panel but the netbook always says the power source isn’t enough. Would a 40 watt solar panel get the job done? I know most of these things on the market are designed to work by charging a battery pack first and then plugging the battery pack into the laptop. The problem with this is that it usually takes all day to charge the battery pack and a full charge on that only gives you one charging cycle on the netbook. Aren’t there any solar panels out there that can power my little netbook right from the sun and still be considered somewhat portable? By portable I mean able to be folded and or squeezed into a large camping sized backpack.

I’m a high school student planning to take a band trip to Florida around May. The only problem is that we had a vote to pick between taking buses (Cheaper 24hrs though) or flying ($200 extra). Sadly, buses won. I really wouldn’t mind but my laptop only has a three hour charge. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any external power sources or maybe some sort of solar-powered, portable charger?

A solar panel doesn’t add much weight, but the battery would. Not a lot, but it would be noticeable.
Save weight and remove the battery and have the panel charge the laptop directly. You’d most like need to do more than just a direct connect, but not much more…
Personally, I don’t carry just a laptop bag unless I’m going to be reasonably close to power. when I camp, I’ve got a 50 AH power station packed in a case that’s not much bigger than a laptop bag and on wheels (because THAT is heavy) — and that includes a 20 watt solar panel to charge it (mostly to maintain, but it will charge from near zero in ~3 days). That keeps me powered for a good 2 weeks in the “bush” with modest conservation.
Some don’t consider that “camping”. All I have to say is that if I’m “disconnected” from work related emergencies for too long, I’d be unemployed. better to camp with power than pay for groceries with food stamps.
One Laptop Bag to Charge Them All

Hi,
I have ASUS UL30VT laptop. The text on the battery says 15V, 5600 mAh, 84Wh. The adapter (black box on the cord) is:
Output: 19 V DC, 3.42 A, 65W
Input100~240 V AC, 50/60 Hz universal
I went to ebay and found different solar panels but I am not sure which parameters I need to look for. For example this one
http://cgi.ebay.com/5W-18V-mono-solar-panel-car-12v-battery-laptop-charger-/120746170292
It has a number of specs. Will it work for my laptop? And if not, which parameters indicate that? If yes, how long will it approximately take to charge the battery?
Also I found several other ones
http://cgi.ebay.com/Portable-Solar-Power-Panel-Kit-40-W-Laptop-Batt-Charger-/170514447329
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Solar-Panel-Battery-Charger-LAPTOP-19V-US-/390325758943
which are way more expensive than the first charger. Why is that? Is it because they seem to provide not only the charger but also the battery? Or is it because the panel is more powerful which leads to faster charge times? Will it work with my laptop?
