4Good charger, even under cloudy skies.  Jan 23, 2010
By Omnimodo
This solar charger is one of the best configurations that I've come across. It managed to charge 4xAA batteries while sitting on my vehicle's dashboard during an overcast day. I figure that if it can pull a charge from the sun through both the clouds and the UV screen of the windshield glass while still being able to fold into something that is about wallet sized then it absolutley earns a place in my backpack.

There are a few things to note that aren't mentioned in the item description:
1. This only has four gromments, not six.
2. It is NOT waterproof/water resistant in any way. A single raindrop on the charging circuit will likely short it out.
3. The batteries can be a little difficult to pull out of the charger. You can't grip the battery by the sides and pull. I've always needed to use my fingernails or something like a key to pry them out.

All in all, I'd say this is the best options out there for keeping your AA flashlights, GPS, and other gizmos powered while enjoying the great outdoors.
