Solar Power Rechargeable Battery Charger

Solar Battery Charger

Well since it’s rather difficult to get your hands on the Eneloop solar charger outside Japan, there’s an easy to get alternative that accomplishes the same thing.

While it’s not nearly as beautiful as the Eneloop charger, and it doesn’t have the brilliant USB connection, but it will still charge a battery using all green energy, and you can actually buy one.

This charger fits most types of batteries as well, it can charge D, C, AA, and AAA batteries. Both NiMH, and NiCad are supported. All these are charged with the on-board 7V solar cell.

It measures 19 x 8.7 x 4cm and weighs only 260 grams, definitely portable enough to carry around in your backpack to ensure your camera batter never dies.

I’m happy to say you can get this one easily online from amazon for about $25
