[pct-l] Solio solar charger question

[taterno at cox.net]

Laura,
What is the output DC voltage of the charger?  You can find this on the label on the charger.  Depending on its output, I may be able to rig something up to charge the battery.  But beware, as AsABat states, the charge may not shut off when it should using the method.  
  
Bring your camera and charger out here and I will do my best to make it work.  What is the model number of your Canon camera, and is there a model number on the battery?

Hey, I was wondering if anybody on here knows how (if...) I can  
charge my camera battery using a Solio hybrid solar charger (http:// 
www.solio.com/charger/explore-solio/solio-hybrid-1000.php)  
considering that my camera battery has a charger that must be plugged  
into a regular two-pronged wall socket.  I have a Canon camera with a  
proprietary battery and a wall charger.  The battery can't be charged  
by plugging the camera into a USB port, it can only be charged by  
removing the battery from the camera and using the wall charger.  It  
would be great if I could just somehow plug that wall charger into  
the Solio.  The Solio seems to have all these wacky connectors you  
can buy to plug in all kinds of cell phones, but no connector that  
lets you use it like a regular old two-pronged wall outlet.  This  
seems odd to me.  Anybody on here happen to know whether I'm missing  
something?
