Hello.
I am building a solar phone charger and have decided to use 3 Nimh batteries, a 5/6 v solar panel, a usb 5V rectifier and also a Lipo credit card rechargeable cell.
My reasoning is limited for this build as the more I read, the more conflicting info I find...
(Eg, charging AA batteries is easier with solar than Lipo's, then I read its harder)...
So I am somewhat confused but my design has been decided on.
What I am really after is info on how quick I can charge the Lipo cell off the AA batteries and will that cut off, overcharge function be built into the rectifier... I am buying a rectifier specifically for phones. (Although not sure if it will do Iphone or not)
And also any assistance I can get that would make this project amazing instead of just ok.
Cheers
