Backpacking - looking for a solar charger for Nikon EN-EL15 batteries
« on: August 05, 2016, 02:28:40 pm »
Anyone have any recommendations for solar panels/chargers they would like to pass along?  I likely will need to charge one battery per day, expect mostly sunny skies, I will be in Arizona latitude-wise.  Solar panel(s) would be attached to outside of pack.  Also, any recommendations for a couple extra third-party batteries would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Others may have a different view, I've not had good luck with either solar chargers or aftermarket batteries. I just buy the Nikon brand batteries now. I'm willing to listen if others have had different experience.

I used a charger and panels from Voltaic Systems.  It worked quite well.
