Afternoon all,

Hope everyone had a good Chrissie & New Year. While I was lounging around the shore of Lake Eildon over the break (and drinking copious amounts of alcohol - hmmm, could explain the question!), I got to thinking about charging a mobile phone using solar. Specifically, those el-cheapo 100 milli-amp jobs that you can get from the discount auto stores for around $30-$40... Has anyone had any experience with these? The way I understand it, the panel's output is in the form of a normal 12V cigarette lighter - can you just buy a female adapter to allow you to plug the phone charger in one end and the solar in the other, and away you go? Do they put out enough power to adequately charge a phone?

Thanks in advnace,
T-Bone.
