Making 12 volt Rechargable Duct Tape Batteries from Common Components
 This page shows you how to make a quick and easy rechargeable battery out of commonly available components. I use this kind of battery with a 6.5 watt folding solar panel while camping to run things like radios and portable electronics. It's very easy to use, just hook it to the solar panel and the sun will charge up the batteries directly without any other components needed. You don't even need a battery charger, the solar panel can charge the duct tape battery directly without a charger. More... Featured Sundowner

Sorry for the inconvenience, but this is needed to help stop spam bots. 25 Aug 2007 Ratings stars have been overhauled to try to stop bots from automatically voting (and messing up the ratings from real people).
