What types of Solar Battery Charger
For all of you out there that have dumped the traditional non rechargeable batteries and switched over to the cost effective rechargeable type, the next step in going greener and cheaper is actually recharging those batteries with solar energy. There is a massive choice here and you don`t want to choose the wrong type of charger for your batteries.
A couple of things to wonder about is how portable are you? Have you lots of personal gadgets that you like to carry about while you are away from home. The ideal candidate here is the outdoor person, backpacker or hill walker.
The second though is just what type of batteries do you use in your equipment, they might not all be the same size and that will narrow down your options for what charger to purchase. You`ll want your charger to be extremely portable.
For the mostly stay at home person, portability is not your primary concern so you are no so limited in choice. The types of batteries you use are still important and you`ll probably be thinking about a universal charger.
Actually before we move on, take a look around at all your devices and check if you have missed any that are still no running on rechargeable batteries and make a point in swapping over to the more cost effective battery.
The solar battery chargers today offer a variety of options, for the basic capable of charging a single type AA or AAA battery to chargers that are both solar and can be plugged in to your computer via a usb cable. Along with the universal chargers that can take all manner of batteries and also charge batteries that are on-board your device as well as actually powering some of them.
Portability varies too, some are the ultimate like roll up film or fold-able wallets to larger heave duty devices. If you backpack then weight will be a factor, for those that drive or even cycle then weight is of less importance.
The ideal solar batter charger for you is out there, you just have to look around at what you`ll need charging and when. No more dead batteries for your devices.
