Hi folks, Another source for  our part of the world is
jaycar.com.auyou can select "batteries and chargers/chargers" and find a
solar panel car charger.  Also dc-dc converter many kinds, with prices.

Re: Solar charger (was Re: News Openmoko Shop Pulster)

2009-05-30 Thread Peter Harrison
I thought I would provide some of my experience with using solar
power. My experience involves using a 12v panel. You can get 12v
panels from all kinds of places. In order to step down 12v to the
required 5v you will need an efficient dc converter:
http://us.100y.com.tw/PNoInfo/21207.htm

Do NOT use a 5v regulator as you will dump half the power directly
into the regulator as heat. That is not only a waste of power but
potentially a fire risk. From there you can get a connector to the NEO
USB and simply wire in the power. I actually had a PhidgetServo board
and wired the power directly into it. To get my NEO to charge I had to
turn on the external charging and set to 500ma.

The point here is that you will need 5v x 500ma = 2.5W in order to
supply that kind of juice. This power is only available in full
exposure. It also does not account for any conversion loss. I
recommend using a 5W panel. Obviously if you can get a 6v or 5v panel
you could use a basic regulator without much trouble.

This is not a kind of panel you can carry around easily. Some
'chargers' on the market have such low surface area they have no
realistic chance of supplying the kind of juice required for charging
in a realistic time frame.

Here is panel I'm using:

After test all them, just one conclusion not worth the money.

I think the theory might be the same. 

solar board charge internal battery, and then battery charge phone.
crank output charge internal battery, and then battery charge phone.

The question is how much mAh crank output and how much time it take to
charge the internal battery. :)

They told me that they have 3.0/3.5 samples. And they can change to 4 Ah
battery, easily.

The mechanical design is the same. 

I'm afraid they didn't have web page update. I'll keep contacting with
them for price/spec, etc.

If there is any news, I'll keep the thread update.

  a 2.1Ah.

Humm, I have checked with factory. LED of YL-S** series only indicates

or a hand-crank charger

imo, this is a more reliable way of charging the battery - it'll work
anywhere (in a building, underground, when it's raining), anytime
(night) and is going to produce a bigger current than this size of
solar panel

does anyone know of any decent crank chargers that will output over usb?

Yeah, why not! :) I never went to the deep jungle, but i like to make 
trips in the wild, with just my bike and my tent, and the solar 
charger is the only solution to keep my GPS up and running for several 
days/weeks.

More seriously, what about making an "announce" email in a new thread 
(this thread of discussion is getting quite long), so that people can 
manifest their interest and propose some tests to be carried on the 
solar charger you have selected.

I'm really glad we are going forward on this!

Re: Solar charger (was Re: News Openmoko Shop Pulster)

2009-05-05 Thread vale

i would look at dealextreme.com there are many external battery packs which
are much cheaper!

i have http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.9871 which really does not
have 1mAh like it claims, but i can charge my freerunner about 1.5 to 2
times without problem and thats all i need. comes with mini-usb adapter and
free shipping so its about: 14 Euros.

There are many more on the website:

Re: Solar charger (was Re: News Openmoko Shop Pulster)

2009-05-04 Thread David Reyes Samblas Martinez
Christoph and I were talking about this and agree with Christian we
must think on this devices more as  auxiliary batteries with a plus
than solar chargers, so the higher capacity the better.
We are interested in offer this in our shops so we will proceed the
following way, as we do with the Slim BT Keyboard, but this time even
more open and community driven.
I will order a sample of the following models  from en-hancing.com to
test them and put the results on a wiki page along with some pictures
of them on the field.
SC019 3000mAh  cool&rought the more expensive
SC020 3600mAh  the highest capacity but seems slightly weaker than sc019
SC018 2600mAh only one solar panel but with higher battery than SC021
and twice cheaper, if it has a mini usb adaptor can be a
better choice for cheaper option

SC021 is only 2000mAh  is just a little bit cheaper than
SC019/20 options

You can suggest what test do you like to be performed and I will
publish the results on that wiki.
After that test we(community included in that we) can disscuss what
model fits  most of all  and I will proceed with an order to have
stock in our shops.
Please be aware than final price will be higher than we have disscused
here, after some quick maths the SC019/20 model will be about 69EUR ,
SC018 about 39EUR, the SC021 about 59EUR(too much for a 2000mAh
battery IMHO)   those prices are just to orientate, custom fees and
Euro/dollar equivalence when the order is finally made are really hard
to calculate(near a lottery really) is just to you have an idea.

So the due the other YL series doesn't has more than 2400mAh and to
avoid more shipping/customs costs (really expesive from china). I
think does't worth the effort to try to buy samples from them.

I will keep you informed about the progress of the plan :)

Hi Daniel,

I use to use this kind of solar charger (a YB-E5008) during my last 
holidays (3 weeks in Iceland, by bike), and i can tell you that they 
are not suitable for smartphone. I couldn't keep my Nokia N95/8GB charged.

When they say that you can charge your solar charger with sun light in 
8/12H, it means actually 8/12h exposed under the sun light at its 
zenith, on the equator of the earth!
By experience, i can tell you that you will need _at least_ two sunny 
days to get it charged properly (during which you took care of 
orienting the charger as the sun moves).

You have to be aware of these constraints as well:
- You can't charge your phone while you charge the charger itself
- If the charger is not fully charge (the light is not green), it 
won't charge your phone, _at all_!

As well, i would advice to use a charger which has at least 2 times 
the capacity of your phone (FR has a 3.7V/1200mAh battery).

On the 3 chargers you propose here, and the 3 chargers i've proposed 
earlier, i would be only interested in 2 of them:, the SC019 and the 
SC020, mainly because these are the only ones which has internal 
battery with a capacity >= 3000Ah

Regards,
Chris

Hi Christoph,

What about adding this product to your shop:
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/205706002/Fashionable_solar_charger.html

This is a solar charger with internal 2800mAh battery that can output 
up to 1A. So it can be used to power *AND* charge a Freerunner.

Didn't find any retail reseller for this exact model...
