this is something im gona have to have a play about with this summer,as im completely clueless with solar power and recharging,eldest is training to be a sparky in college at the moment,so he can give me a hand,electrics and gas are the two things i never mess with
The usb output ones have been a bit hit and miss especially on their promises of power
I got a cheap "300w" one playing this weekend the £20 special was comparable in output to my £50 Anker I'll be honest I was surprised.. but no way is it 100w nevermind 300w got to love the Chinese licence of words
I'm new and have selected "reply with quote"; I hope this works.
I bought a couple of these, and they're really trickle chargers. I do a bit of electronics and soldered up poor connections inside, and modified them inside to make them a bit better. Very tricky job.

PPrep, you quoted just fine, but then you wrote your own quote *inside* the quote marks, and that makes it quite difficult to tell what's what. When you quote, just press the return button to make sure you're *outside* the quotes, and bob's your uncle

Those tie down Chinese panels are laughably over sold. Watt would turn in his grave.
They are not quite what described sometimes,but they do charge batteries. With our emergency lighting being battery LED this is good. Simple.
Obviously,the more complex, the more expensive solar becomes required.
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

Arzosah, Thanks for your help "PPrep, you quoted just fine, but then you wrote your own quote *inside* the quote marks, and that makes it quite difficult to tell what's what. When you quote, just press the return button to make sure you're *outside* the quotes, and bob's your uncle "
Are there step by step instructions for posting and replying to posts anywhere. I'm not familiar with how fora work.

This one uses BBCode, of which there are a few syntax variants. Hitting the " Quote button does most of the work for you. Most 'tag' features are aided by the editor buttons, but you can go freestyle. Problems arise when freestyle edits break or misplace the tags.

Jenny, thanks for your help. I've used other fora a couple of times, and there's usually a button to click to reply to a specific post, and they're easy to use. I'm not sure whether this happens or not with this particular forum software. I'm probably making heavy weather of what I believe should be simple! Although I have practical experience with PC's and their applications, I'm no programmer. I've found the FAQ section, and will try that.
Instead of just hitting the 'post reply' button, you can just hit the " button to the top right of the post, for a well parsed quote. Then just delete out any unwanted bits and add your comment after the last [/quote]
