[pct-l] iPhone charging

[Ed Jarrett]

It really depends on your solar panel and how you use it. I carried a sunTatics atop my pack through the Sierra this past year and it kept a battery charged enough to charge my phone, inReach and headlamp at night. But you cannot charge a cell phone from the panel while on the go.

Not to be a killjoy, but this form of battery charging will require
you to stay in one place for long periods of time with your solar
panels unrolled during mid day hiking hours. If you are thru hiking
you are most likely going to be walking during those hours.

It is my understanding that solar panels strapped to packs have
performed in a less than satisfactory fashion.
