[pct-l] Pct-l Digest, Vol 12, Issue 64

[Kent Spring]

Hi David - 
I hope a few of the many folks that I've seen with solar 
chargers respond so we can hear their pros and cons.  
However, I  will add my 2 cents worth - I like to carry 
rechargeable batteries that I charge with the charger 
that I include in my bounce box.

I only carry an MP-3 player and a camera which need batteries, 
but have always found adequate charging places with-out 
carrying the charger with me.
