Comments about Better Energy Solio Hybrid 1000 Solar Charger:

It requires about 8 - 10 hours of full, strong sun to recharge when completely drained. It charges extremely slowly on cloudy days. Was able to recharge my mp3 player and a small speaker on a single charge. It charged best when hung on the outside of the tent on play days. Inconsistent charging when strapped to my pack on days when we moved.

Comments about Better Energy Solio Hybrid 1000 Solar Charger:

Good method to charge electronics on the road. We like the idea of using solar power. Cuts down on the need to take a slew of chargers. Did have to order two additional tips to charge our cell phones, but you can't cover all the bases.
