Hi, I'm headed out to a 10 day long trip later this summer where I won't be able to charge my M240 battery using usual methods - I won't have access to external power sources at all. I will take some spare batteries but it would be tragic if I ran out of juice.
The standard charger does have a 12 v car adapter socket, I wondered if anyone has successfully used a solar charger for this?

Used the solar charger outside that i think is most convenience.

Especially in the daytime, they are not good during the night :-)

You can get solar chargers that dont need direct sunlight so if its cloudy it will still charge, I think Maplins sell them
