though, which is a pity as they do a 12V 6W bottle model with a claimed

Well, I think it's much more useful than solar charger than you tested.

This is a solar charger with internal 2800mAh battery that can output

Yesterday I bought this small portable solar charger:

I found it in OBI (italian store) for 29.9 euro. It should be available also
at Bennet and Conad, in Italy.
It should work with the Freerunner.
