When the trail crosses people whether it is a gas station or a restaurant ask to use their outlet for fifteen minutes to an hour while you spend some money at their facility. Batteries charge asymmetrically so the first fifteen minutes will give you possibly a 2/3 charge on one battery. Tina triedthe solar chargers and the sun just doesn't give enough power to charge a battery in a small amount of time.
