    So this F1 Nitecore set up could repower rechargeable AA's in your GPS for instance? Kinda think I want one of these things!

    These guys seem to have the F1s and a whole heap of options for flexible panels for them also if you search around on their site

    No solar panel mate.
    It's just a rubbery armour that looks like solar.
    I've had a high end solar charger.......
    They are a waste of time.

    If anyone does go with one of these please put up a post on the F1 and charger systems and the service from this business in CHCH ?
    Its sort of what I think I would go with as looking at getting a headlight that uses 18650 batteries.
