I understand your point, but I am willing to pay a slight premium for a more green product. Plus, I run through rechargables like it's going out of style. I would assume that I'd end up saving the money on my electric bill over the life of the product.]]>Dec 23rd 2008 12:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/energizers-rechargeable-solar-charger-gets-detailed-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/energizers-rechargeable-solar-charger-gets-detailed-pictured/Dec 23rd 2008 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/energizers-rechargeable-solar-charger-gets-detailed-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/energizers-rechargeable-solar-charger-gets-detailed-pictured/Dec 23rd 2008 6:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/energizers-rechargeable-solar-charger-gets-detailed-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/energizers-rechargeable-solar-charger-gets-detailed-pictured/
I do agree that more green tech should be cheaper and you should be able to be rewarded for use of multiple kinds of green tech. Maybe it should be tax exempt for green products and the such. ]]>Dec 23rd 2008 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/energizers-rechargeable-solar-charger-gets-detailed-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/energizers-rechargeable-solar-charger-gets-detailed-pictured/How about $40 for a solar charger with all the accessories from Devotec instead?

Nice name.

I can confirm you can charge the DS via a USB cable. Not directly as the DS port isnt USB but it's own proprietry connector but I do have a USB to DS cable for in car use that works very well.]]>Dec 23rd 2008 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/energizers-rechargeable-solar-charger-gets-detailed-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/energizers-rechargeable-solar-charger-gets-detailed-pictured/Dec 22nd 2008 11:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/energizers-rechargeable-solar-charger-gets-detailed-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/energizers-rechargeable-solar-charger-gets-detailed-pictured/Dec 22nd 2008 11:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/energizers-rechargeable-solar-charger-gets-detailed-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/energizers-rechargeable-solar-charger-gets-detailed-pictured/Dec 22nd 2008 11:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/energizers-rechargeable-solar-charger-gets-detailed-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/energizers-rechargeable-solar-charger-gets-detailed-pictured/Dec 23rd 2008 5:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/energizers-rechargeable-solar-charger-gets-detailed-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/energizers-rechargeable-solar-charger-gets-detailed-pictured/
My name is battery charger. Observe, my flashlight. I draw my power from that bright sun thing. Now we can return the sun's favor by recharging it with me too =D

You'll need to charge ~427 hours (almost 18 solid days) at that rate to use a kWh -- average cost per kWh in the US: $0.10.

So it's neat, a nice symbolic accessory & your $50 does support R&D for this type of thing-- but your direct benefits are small.]]>Dec 23rd 2008 12:45PM
