[QUOTE="jmden, post: 722869, member: 1742"] Hmmm...I've wondered about some of that stuff, but didn't have the background to know for sure. Thanks for the post. I have had mine charge from 1/4 to 3/4 (roughly as there are 4 lights on the Opteka unit I referenced above to give a rough idea of the battery charge) full just leaving it in the tent (the TipiTents I make use a very thin, lightweight fabric that lets quite a bit of light through) for the day when gone. Seems like it has worked pretty well for me on several trips. It starts charging automatically when placed in enough light. Now, before a hunt, I typically just through it in a south facing window to 'top it off' before leaving. At this point, I'm pretty happy with it. I've got a friend with a much more powerful unit that we use when on multiday, open ocean, sea kayaking trips, but it weighs a great deal and is quite large. Certainly not something I would backpack hunt with. [/QUOTE]
