[pct-l] Re: Recharging batteries on the trail?

[mgeis at yahoo.com (Matt Geis)]

You can find a number of lightweight solar battery
chargers on eBay.  I got one for about $17.  There
seems to be a standard one, but I can't recall the
maker (as it's in the gear bag of a friend who
recently returned from a climbing trip in Alaska).
