    I have finally found a neat little 2 bay charger that can do ni-mh AA and AAA as well as li-ion 18650's. And it runs off 5v so can be powered by my li-ion battery bank or fold out 5v 20w solar panel.

    Hi @GHW what was the charger you found ?
    Im wanting exactly that for AAs, AAAs and 18650s in the bush.
    There are also AA and AAA li-ion batteries becoming available now also that it might also be suitable for ?

    This is the 5V charger i have that can charge both li-ion 18650 as well as ni-mh AA and AAA batteries. It has a micro usb input for the 5V in and a full sized usb output, so it can be used as a powerbank too (but according to the Lygte review, it works well as a charger, but not so well as a powerbank)

    I have one of these li-ion powerbanks that it will charge off.

    I also have one of these 5V 20W folding solar panels, that can power up the battery charger directly, or via the powerbank, so that the panel chargers the powerbank, and the powerbank is also connected to the battery charger at same time, and charge flows all the way through.

    Obviously if you are only in the bush for shorter trips, its just far easier to take spare AA, AAA or 18650 batteries with you instead of all the kit to charge them, but if you were in the bush for a while, trapping, culling, whatever its handy to be able to charge your batteries.

    I run 5V camp/hut lights off the Li-ion powerbank as well, so the panel is great for keeping that topped up if bush for more than a couple of days.

    Thanks for that info @GWH
    That's pretty well covered all the parts I'm wanting to spend extended periods in the bush and keep battery storage up for maxtoch torch and a new 18650 headlight.
    With the option of a small usb led touch light for in in my hut or a tent.
    When I was away in the hut a couple of weeks ago the sound of the gas light hissing away the whole time rather spoiled the mood of solitude.

    cheers

    Have a look at the luminoodle led rope lights mate. Usb powered, fairly economical on power usage.

    I love them. When doing overnight walk in hunts I take one along with a 18650 battery in a Nitecore F1 and run the light with that.

    Very low weight and compact as.
