Solar AA Battery Charger | 2 Good Choices by for Modern Survival Blog
I will suggest two choices for a solar aa battery charger. One is a nice standalone unit. The other, though more expensive, is a more powerful folding solar panel. A separate aa charger accessory plugs right in. It charges USB too — iPhone, Android, etc.).
Solar Battery Charger | AA, AAA, C, D
First, the following solar powered battery charger (pictured above) is a practical preparedness item to have. It will charge typical consumer-size AA & AAA rechargeable batteries including C & D.
When the power grid goes down, the sun keeps shining! We can harness that energy. And in this case with a solar charger for rechargeable batteries.

I have two of these solar aa battery chargers. They are still working perfectly and I have used them countless times in the sun to recharge batteries for devices including:
– Flashlights
– AM/FM/Shortwave portable radio
– Emergency weather-alert radio
– 2 way radios, walkies
Solar Charger Feature | Built-in METER GAUGE
I like the fact that it includes a meter /gauge. The meter provides indication that the batteries are being recharged.
The meter helps optimize the charge rate — the angle of the solar panel facing towards the sun for highest charge rate.
About the C.Crane Solar 11-in-One Battery Charger
This high powered solar charger charges two Rechargeable Batteries of the same type and size (D, C, AA, AAA). It puts out about 150mA at ~ 5 volts.
The solar panel is built in to the hinged cover which can be angled for maximum sun exposure. Its built-in meter indicates the following conditions:
– The relative strength of the sun
– The strength of the current output from the solar panel
– The time required to fully charge the different types of batteriesThis battery charger incorporates a built-in blocking diode to prevent reverse flow of electricity from charged batteries during storage.
