[pct-l] Solio Hybrid Solar Charger H1000 Report

[Hiker97 at aol.com]

Well, I went down to REI and traded in some stuff and got the new  charger.
 
1.  Weight in the box = 322g or 11.3 ounces.
2.  Weight out of box with no device connectors attached = 133g or 4.7  
ounces.
 
This device is for electronics that have their own rechargeable battery  
inside.  It has a very large hook to attach it to the back of your pack for  
instance as you bang along down the trail.
 
Looks like on a sunny day it takes 10-12 hours to charge it up.  On a  cloudy 
day it takes 12-48 hours.  I can live with that, since on the  trail out in 
the sun or partial sun, I would be there for at least 10  hours.  And around 
camp I could just leave it out too.
 
Anyway, it looks okay to me, but the trail is the real test.
 
Cheers, Switchback
