This has nothing to do with paddling, but it seems there are a few folks out there with a good knowledge of electronics and battery charging, and to those I direct this request. Answers probably best via back-channel. At work we have a satellite phone, using NMH batteries, which we want to recharge from a solar panel we have. It would also be nice to recharge lap-tops with the panel. I know enough not to charge directly from the panel, but I'm unsure of the best way to go. Weight of any set-up is important, so carrying an additional battery is not ideal. We have two batteries for the sat phone so could charge out of the unit. Keen to hear advice, or directions to sites that would be more suitable.
