Solar will be just for the flashlight, or light charging

Since I have a 2.5kmAh pouch cell from a broken tablet

And the other, well

My car's cigarette lighter socket is wider than all other

So chargers fit loosely

That sucks.

So I'll use it for my phone when travelling, or if I forget to charge my phone some other way

odd

I don't really need power banks to be honest

Maybe a friend will need one

is the steering wheel on the left or right of ur car?

@Sapharanth I advise you to get a hand cranked led flashlight

They are chinese and cost around 1$. With a minute of effort you get about 10 minutes of light

Solar charged flashlight is retarded since youll be using it in the night

I know what flashlights you speak of

The light is weak, to begin with

And the ones in chink stores near me have just a non-rechargeable lithium cell for battery power and the motor is seperate

Im not talking about the the "spin me up kinda type"

So that sucks

No the one you pump with your hand

yah

okay

Consider a diy 50w led flsahlight

stay in school kids

@Joldberg Thats not the one

I have already made a rechargeable flashlight

But it uses a meh 10mm LED

I ordered some 10W ones and power supplies for them

I'll put it in that case

woa

that's cool

Yep, 4.5V batteries cost more than they're worth

And I had a leftover phone battery

why not grab a big capacitor and use 3 AA batteries?

>what's a capacitor

Besides, simply changing the incandescent bulb to a LED gave me a higher light output at a lower power cost

And why would I even need a capacitor for that?

3AAS are 4.5V, applied to a linear load

store the charge to simulate any output
