Solar charging 9500

5 replies · 2,616 views · Started 19 December 2004

Have the opportunity to get away fromit all and leave mains electricity behind for 6 weeks! Wouldlike to be able to use the office functions of the 9500 for more than the first day(!). Does anyone know of a portable solar charger that can be used with the 9500? Would also be interested in any experiences people have with this technology and mobile phones.
Thanks
Dave

well my friend had a portable solar charger whcich he bought for a price (if im not mistaken) 30$
and i think it works on all nokia models

just a quick question
if u r headed to a place where there is no electricity why would you want to use office applications????

I am on a 6 week expedition with various scientific experiments to carry out and it would help to keep the various reports / spreadsheets up to date!

Sounds very interesting. Where are you sourcing this charger from?
I guess if you had the phone side off the battery would last a bit longer too.

Hope to source charger from UK - if I can feel confident that the web advertising works!! Hence my question as to whether anyone has any experience of these or not! I would prefer to get a recommended make and model. There will definitely be no phone or WiFi to drain the battery!
