I purchased a fold out flexible 20w panel, 3 solar panels, it has two usb outlets. Can charge phone directly, or I use it to charge a power bank that I run lights off and can charge phone off etc. Also can charge 18650 fir headlight.

It's light weight, grunty and reasonably small and was cheap compared to power monkey and similar

Sounds like what I'm after... Where from? What brand? How much?... Just went to the local jaycar and didn't get a whole lot of satisfaction, pretty sure they knew less than I did... And I know f-all

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