As Ken says, it has been gone over several times before. That solar panel you link to is no good because it has only got a 12 volt DC output, you need 17.5 volts to charge a Phantom battery. Even so, it would be like watching grass grow with any type of solar panel except a quite large one, and that then negates your wish to be able to back-pack it.
And the jump-start packs are similarly impractical, because they weigh a ton and have limited functionality.
The conclusions arrived at previously were that is is more practical to take a bunch of Phantom batteries with you, or use a car charger from a vehicle, or one of the Honda EU-2000i generators. Even the smaller and light EU-1000i generator would do the job well. The problem is, a Phantom is not easy to provide for away from mains power. |
