[pct-l] Solar Chargers

[Chris Pratt]

Tim,

I carry a Samsung Galaxy S.  I carry 2 or 3 extra batteries and a lite 
weight wall charger (get them off eBay).  I do not leave the phone on 
unless I need the GPS or I'm in town making calls.  This way the 
batteries last several weeks without charging.  Weight wise this is a 
very light option.  Every time I've thought about using solar chargers I 
get hung up with the weight and the hassle of hanging it on my backpack.
