Solar Battery Recommendations

[tomdon]

I am looking for a battery that comes with solar panels. Power small things like laptop and cellphone, etc. Any recommendations?

Some general thoughts:

• A cellphone and laptop are typically two very different power draws. "Small thing like a laptop" spoken here often means "my 250w gaming or video editing laptop". OTOH, a small chromebook might pull smartphone-like wattage.
• if you drive daily (like to work or school) it might be easier to charge devices off the 12v ciggy port while driving
• batteries are rarely sold with panels, with the exception of small power bricks suitable for phone charging
• very small solar setups tend to be crazy expensive by the watt

If you can't charge off the ciggy port (#2 above) a small solar generator with pass-through charging might fit your use case. Compare the Wh of the SG with the daily Wh you need.
