By Andrew Liszewski A built-in solar panel will fully recharge the battery in about 8 hours (in full sunlight at 25 degrees celsius) or it can be plugged into AC and recharged in just 4 hours. The whole idea of the lamp is to provide a highly affordable and easy to use light source for developing countries and low-...

By Chris Scott Barr As long as you don’t need fresh batteries on a daily basis, this little charger should do the trick. With full sunlight, you can recharge a set in just two days. However, if it is indoors getting 2-3 hours of sunlight each day, it might take more like 5 days. My biggest complaint with this product...
