Harnessing solar power is a good idea; especially if it is incorporated into a design that helps you recharge gadgets on the go. The backpack and handbag designed to use with a special adapter is an easy solution to recharge your cell-phone, games, PDAs etc. The solar panels are on the face of the bag and connect to an adapter that fits in to a specially designed pocket. The adapter has a jack that allows it to hook onto the car cigarette lighter socket, so that you can source the power from there as well. On days the weather is bad the solar-pack uses up the stored power in the adapter. T he 1000 mAh Nickel battery takes 3.12 hours to charge and 2000 mAh 6 .24 hrs
