Brunton Portable Power Sources???
« on: June 16, 2004, 01:22:32 PM »
Would this thing work to power a JB3 during the day or recharge a 12v all day at a festival when no AC power is available?
Just curious.

Thanks.

i think it should be hot and bright enough there to just put it on the ground.  The TLs and umbrella will weigh enough for the top of the stand anyhow.

I found some specs and its rated at 70mA @ 12 volts
That's probably under optimum conditions, so you wouldn't want to count on it recharge your batteries.  It's not even trickle charge level.  :(

Yup... And with solar, it fluctuates a LOT. The little ones don't do anything. (so that is up to 70mA and usually less) 

 Best bet is spend money on batteries instead..

Oh well, I will just use it to keep my cell phone charged, and I bought 21Ah more or SLA power.

Anyone know what output (numbers helpful) would be good enough to charge some 6v's? hell maybe even my 12v lead weights?

Something comparable to the specs on the charging unit, I'd say.  I have a 6v/1,000 mA charger for my 7AH and 10AH SLAs.
