By the way, why don't all cars come with 3.5mm line in, and USB power sockets as standard? Surely they aren't that expensive...]]>Feb 4th 2010 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/
I'd have to say that a car is the LEAST useful place for a solar power charger. Be cool for a camping trip though, but I think I'd prefer something more like a foldout umbrella with more capacity. =)]]>Feb 4th 2010 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/Feb 4th 2010 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/
Pretty innovative concept.

Don't tell me the minimal effects of charging a cell phone everyday on your commute. The point is it still effects the lifetime of the car battery and this device is a step closer to cleaner energy.

Speaking of batteries...

When the engine is running, power is supplied via the alternator and not the battery. ]]>Feb 4th 2010 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/Feb 4th 2010 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/@Wallyum the charger also has an internal battery so you dont have to have it plugged in so it can charge.]]>Feb 4th 2010 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/Feb 4th 2010 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/Feb 4th 2010 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/Feb 4th 2010 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/Feb 4th 2010 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/]]>Feb 4th 2010 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/Feb 4th 2010 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/Feb 4th 2010 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/scosche-solbat-ii-collects-solar-power-distributes-it-to-usb-de/
This is an awesome device for my hidden usb spy cam. I would connect this to my micro mini-dv usb powered spy cam w/ motion detect. The thing will power it all day. It would have been great a few months ago when my car was keyed.

Unfortunately, I always park in a garage at home and work.
