Solar Charger for my camping iLife...

Is there anyway I can use Nature Power 55020 18-Watt Folding Monocrystalline Solar Panel to charge iPads, iPhones, MacBooks, etc?

VWWestfalia-
That solar panel appears to be designed to charge a 12 volt battery.  It is not clear if the charge controller will produce 12 Volts without a battery being connected.
One way to charge your iPad might be to use a small DC-to-AC inverter to convert 12 Volts DC to 120 Volts AC, and plug-in the iPad's wall charger.  I would look for one that produces 50 Watts or less.
You might have to re-wire the inverter to connect to the Solar Panel's charge controller.  It would depend on the charge controller being able to drop the solar panel's 18 Volts down to 12 to 15 Volts.

  • Solar charger for ipad

    Going on a two week camping trip and will not have electricty is there an approved solar charger currently of the ipad.

    I'm seeing if the following setup works and would save hundreds of pounds I admit that charging the batteries may take a little longer than the other chargers. But if it save me 100's of pounds and also allows me to keep charging loads of battles for future use. Who cares.
    Basically charger the 4or 2xaa batteries using the solar charger and USB battery charger.  Then use these batteries with the extender providing up to 10,000mah that should completely charge the iPad to full.

    If you are seldom in a Wi-Fi Network Area, then you can turn off Wi-Fi until you knowingly are in such a Network Area.  You can go through your Applications where you don't really need to know the instant an Update is available and turn off the push update notifications.  You can turn down the screen brightness.  You can set the sleep cycle to 1-min.  You could set your email to check for new messages every 30-min. rather than less than 1 min.  Just some of many steps available.

  • Can you get a solar charger for the ipad 2?

    Does anyone know if you can get a solar charger for an ipad 2?

    There a few technical considerations to enable Ipad charging from PV's (solar cells)
    1. The output voltage must be no greater than 5.1vdc (max)
    2. The correct sensing resistors must be on the USB interface to turn on the charging circuitry just as in the iphone and Ipod.
    3. The output current must be high enough to actually charge the Ipad usually something greater than 800ma at
    5.1vdc. Usually the greater the better, The Apple supplied chargers are 2 amps. The output is stated in direct sunlight so again the greater the better.
    4. The weight, physical and type PV must meet the needs of the user.

  • Solar Charger for my Z10

    I am considering buying a rollable, portable solar charger for my Z10. Would such a product with these specs,Max Power: 4.8 Watts, 300 mA (model f15-300) produce enough power to safely charge my device?

    hello!
    may i add some thoughts to this topic...i am working since a couple of years on solar chargers for mobile phones.
    we do have a solution for this...our solar panel is foldable, keeps constant in performance under "hot" conditions (which most of the products in the market don´t do...your 300 mA are probably only available at 25 degree celcius...in the sun you get easily surface temp of over 60 degree celcius and your current will drop to 150 mA or even less)...I use Q10...it can be charged with 500 mA  (standard USB power) but not below 450 mA...for Z10 i cannot tell, because we did not test so far...best way is to use a solar panel and a seperate powerbank (no integrated designs!) which is dedicated to be charged by solar power...then you can charge your phone from this powerbank...it works very stable and you avoid keeping your phone in the sun...temp is too high!  Smartphones will interrupt charging function at temp above 40 to 45 degree celcius...which means Smartphone must be in the shadow!  We offer direct charging function as well, but recommend this only when sun is stable and temperature is low (or cold wind) I do not want to make advertising for my product here...but it really works...:-) but the solar cells we use and the powerbank technology has its price...solar power is great but so far expansive if done in a good way and not as a product which just just wants to catch the "green marketing trend"... since 3 weeks i have charged my phone ONLY by solar power...we have a south sided window at our office and i charge every day my powerbank and at evening i charge my Q10 from there. So finally...it may work!  ;-) Outdoor i do have my solar bag...and collect the energy to safe inside the powerbank. But the solar panel can also be mounted on backpacks...and has better usability...and is cheaper!  ;-)
    maybe i could keep your interest for solar power solutions...create energy...it makes fun...and probably provides a bit more liberty when using our daily electronic gadgets...and it is renewable energy!

  • Hi Whats the best solar charger for my i phone 4

    Hi. Whats the best solar charger for my iphone 4. Thanks  James

    Hi James,
    I do a lot of biking and I found a company called Misuny that make a solar battery charger that your iphone slides into. You can charge it via USB and when I'm out and about it tops itself up by the solar panel. When your iPhone is running low on battery power just press the power button twice and it transfers the charge. It solved my problems! (although i cant make excuses to my wife that my battery ran out anymore!)
    misuny.co.uk for UK orders and i think misunycanada.com for US.
    Cheers!

  • Is there an solar charger for the iphone 5

    Is there a solar charger available for the iphone 5. Our weekend retreat has no electricity so we rely just on fire and solar power!

    I Want to buy an external  solar battery charger for my iPad 2. Does anyone know the right specifications for it.
    Is this one good for me ? 12000mAh Portable Solar Power Battery Pack. You can find it on this link.

    Thanks.

    The iPad charger is rated at 10W - 5V @ 2A  An iPhone/iPod charger is rated at 5W - 5V @ 1A. An iPhone charger will charge the iPad, but much slower than the iPad charger. Based on the specs, I don't think it's adequate for the iPad.

  • Is there a Solar Charger for 13" MBP?

    Hello,
    I will be traveling and working in some remote parts of Kenya over the next 6 months. I would like to know if there is a portable solar charger suited for my 13" MBP as I intend to work on location.
    Thank you,
    Sean

    Apple hasn't licensed the MagSafe connector design to other manufacturers for use in their own adapter/chargers and external battery packs. So the only way for third parties to make power products that connect to Apple notebooks is to buy and modify an Apple adapter (or just cut off and reuse its MagSafe plug) for each unit. That obviously limits the availability and increases the cost of such products.

  • Solar charger?

    I was thinking earlier this afternoon, wouldn't it be cool if they made a solar charger for BBs? So I googled it...and they do make them! I like to consider myself as eco-friendly as possible, but before I purchased anything like that, I wondered if anyone here had any experience with solar chargers. (e.g. How well do they work? Worth the price?) So if anyone has any product reviews and/or thoughts on the subject, I'd like to hear them!

    One other thing, if the moderators of this forum would be so kind as to indulge me here... If you are a Canadian reading this, I hope you got out today and voted!!! (Non-Canadians: Today was federal election day in Canada.) Voter apathy sucks! So if you put down your BB, went to your local polling station, and cast a ballot, CONGRATS!!! I don't care how you voted (well, yes, I sort of do...but it's not my place to say because this is not a political forum...), but if you did, that's what matters. Now if only we could cast a ballot using our BBs! Lol. And to all Americans reading this, please vote in November, the rest of the world is counting on you to be smart about it this time... Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now... Back to the solar charger issue...
