A few of you helped me out before in solar powering a quartz clock, which works now! exciting! thanks very much.
Anyway, next project. I've seen lots of tutorials for a solar powered mobile phone charger online however none of them involve capacitor or rechargeable battery. Charging a phone on the go is ok, but what I'd like is a solar cell that would charge a battery or capacitor. I could then run or charge my phone of the battery/capacitor rather than off the solar cell, which would only work during the day.
My phone's battery is a 3.7V Li-Ion battery, at 880mAh and 3.26Wh. I'm going to buy a solar cell, schottky diode and super capacitor as before, and connect the phone across the capacitor. However, despite researching theory, I'm still stuck on what values each component needs to be
Any help or links to components would be really appreciated,
thanks
