6 Weeks to Go (GoSolarLife!)
Six weeks from today we’ll be on our way. We’ve been ramping up the preparations: lots of weight lifting, hiking, and shopping. We’ll be getting our shots on Monday. It’s starting to feel like we’re really going to go to Africa.
Today we met with Glenn Schulke from GoSolarLife to discuss portable solar options for our trek. John and I will be charging several devices: a Garmin 305, a Garmin 305 xt, an iPhone, an iPad, Nikon lithium batteries, and Canon lithium batteries.
Glenn left us several products to test out, including:
MyPower ALL MP3450Portable Battery Pack
SUNLINQ 2 Portable USB Solar Charger
SUNLINQ 4 Portable USB Solar Charger
I have a lot of work to do this week testing them all out. As you might imagine, I have the spreadsheet ready.

How does the SUNLINQ 2 do for charging an iPad? Are you going to provide the data from your tests? Thanks!

Hi Dan, the SUNLINQ2 will charge my iPad but very slowly. We’ll be taking a back-up source for the iPad as well. I will let you know how the gear works out on the mountain.
