Okay, I go on long back country trips and want something to charge 'AA' batteries while I'm out there. I bought this commercial solar charger for AA batteries and unfortunately it's a little disappointing. The charging circuit is just a diode to prevent discharge. It does have a nice little amp meter, though. It's disappointing because the box could have been a lot more compact given the lack of internals. I want to strip it apart to it's basics to make it more packable/lighter. I also want to add more solar power.
I have 2 solar panels that were salvaged off of broken solar lights. I just want to make sure that I wont break anything if I add one or both of these panels to the circuit. Also, should I add them parallel or in-line? If the stats on the panels will help, I can measure the outputs.
