[pct-l] Cell phone charging and batteries

[jeffmoorehead1 at cox.net (Jeff Moorehead)]

wow-- quite a gadget. Lot's of hyped up and weighty plastic though. I bought 
some cool simple solar panels that put out 6 volts, 7.4 watts. My problem is 
that I don't know how to wire anything up and I don't understand electronics 
well enough to do it. Does anyone out there remember their basic 
electronics? If so, we could put together plans for a solar charger for 
backcountry gadgets. That will get this techno thread headed in the right 
direction...
