I&#8217;ve had my eye on several of their kits. Back during Hurricane Sandy, they had a special deal: if you sent a kit to their hurricane relief effort, they would give you a second one free.  It was just the kick in the pants I needed to pull the trigger. The kit came with an 3.4 Watt panel, a small high capacity USB battery *that will charge an iPhone or iPad Mini or 50% of a big iPad), and a bunch of connectors.  <\/p>\n<p>I mounted the panel on the lid of my messenger bag and tucked the battery inside. The panel constantly charges the batter.  Now I always have a fully charged spare battery that I never have to think about &#8212; the panel keeps it charged 24x7x365. I can go out and about and use the phone without any concern for battery life. And the battery can power or charge anything that uses USB, including LED lights during a storm. I now carry a small lightweight USB light in the bag pocket along with iPhone charging cable.<\/p>\n<p>People ask about the panel all the time. Everyone I explain it to thinks it is extremely cool.<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sun-powered mobile phone power<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[86],"tags":[1544],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12224"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12224"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12224\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12227,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12224\/revisions\/12227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
