Has anyone ever used either of these solar chargers for AA batteries?:

Maybe there are other better units out there?

Would seem handy for LED flashlight batteries, digital cameras, marine 
radios, weather radios, etc.  Granted, 12 hrs of direct sunlight may or may 
not be feasible but certainly you could keep batteries fresh with something 
like this.  My guess is water (especially sea water) would total these in a 
heartbeat.  Maybe they could operate from a clear drybag on deck....

Thanks for any opinions,
K
