Good luck on your search.
I charged it with full sunlight. I tried charging my Garmin. After a very short time it showed my Garmin fully charged, but it wasn't charged at all. Tried it a couple of different time, charged it up in the sunlight some more, tried charging my phone but it just didn't seem to have enough power to charge anything. So took it back. I was really hoping it would work. How to keep my phone and garmin charged are my biggest question for touring. I'll have to check out the Xantrex systems. I did take a quick look at the Hymini. I like the idea of the wind generator on a bike. I'm not known for my lighting fast speeds but I guess even my 10-15 mph touring speed would create a little bit of a breeze. bikerHen
