    Ok so what would be a logical solar panel for charging 18650s, not to carry in my pack but in the truck?

    I am a hunter, I hunt without apology or guilt...

    Hook a solar panel to maintain your truck, if you really need to, and just charge from the truck battery.

    If you are using it in the truck a better plan is to have a USB charger in your truck and use that to recharge the 18650's via the Nitecore F1.

    This is a good powerbank, it's lithium battery so lighter than ones based on 18650s. It was $44 in the sale over the weekend.
