Thanks Gabe
Does a charger make more sense than extra batteries? I've thought about a charger, but it's not like they're weightless or hassle-free. Our satellite phone has never used more than 2 batteries in a 2 week hunt. I take 2 extra camcorder batteries and 2 extra GoPro batteries, and after many years I've never expended them all on a hunt. Proprietary lithium batteries are physically light and generally small. I can put extra sat phone, GoPro and Camcorder batteries in a single sandwich ziplock bag. Nice thing about extra batteries is the instant replacement and power-up.
Mainly curious about others thoughts...not trying to redirect this thread.
It looks like the smallest Solar unit that can fold up is still a half pound. however it can be opened up and put on your back pack while hiking. I like that option but I would like to hear your thoughts on any of them you guys use.
I go on a lot of back packing hunts and do have cell service in most places but no way to charge my phone. I have a Droid and it eats up batteries fast out in the field. I have a 1 day charge max if I leave it on. otherwise I have to shut the phone down and wait for reboot when I turn it back on.
Thanks GBA
