You should also try this (I know some people won't want to carry it if travelling) as it saves the environment even more by not using fossil fuels to provide the power at all!

Hey Guys

I'd recommend these for both a money saving (solar energy is free) and environmentally friendly way of charging AA's & AAA's.

Unfortunately looks like you can't get them in the UK and they aren't the same company that we know called Silva. They just have the same name.

I've got and would recommend Hybrio battereies, particulary as athe moment they are £4.99 for 4 AA ones in Wilkinsons.

Also the solar chargers - £9.99 in Maplins, they do work and do charge Hybri batteries!
