Someone asked about using solar panel on long trips. I did some testing this
week. My Quest running during daylight with the backlight on and ending with
a gain on the internal battery. Next I plug the panel onto a drained 12
volts battery, pack down to 5 volts, on my gage. after more than 7 hours the
gage read 12.5 volts. details are here;

This was a stationary test. I plan to mount the panel on the top of my rear
pack and tent. However I will have a shadow problem in some directions. But
when camping without electric this will come in handy.
