“Care to share your set up with us? Life without my Kindle would be...well, not so nice.”

I spent months searching for the best solar setup for me without getting a loan at the bank. It's a 20 watt solar panel. The panel has a 10 ft. long cord with female cigarette socket attached. The included charger unit has a male plug to fit the socket. It fast charges all sizes of rechargeable batteries. I also have a male cigarette plug with small USB plug that fits the USB port of my Kindle. You may have one for your phone that fits the Kindle. The panel with the long cord and female plug, plus the charger included, cost $160. That amount of money means I will have charged batteries for light and fans and portable TV as long as I need it and be able to read books in the dull times.

Here is the description on Amazon about this unit:

“Great battery charger for solar charging all your AAA, AA, C, D or 9V rechargeable batteries. Will charge 2 or 4 batteries at a time, NiMH or NiCD batteries only. Charges AA, C & D batteries at 850mA max. charge rate, AAA’s at 400mA and 9V at 15mA. This means you can charge typical AA’s in about 3 hours. Smart charger circuitry prevents batteries from over-charging. 20 Watt solar panel comes with female lighter socket and 10 foot cable. Use solar panel to charge your smartphones, iPod, iPhone and more. Charger comes with male plug to connect to solar panel or car lighter and also comes with 120V AC charger.”
