For those of you who use their notebooks away from their homes, do any of you use a solar charger like these?

Since the new MBPs don't have easily replaceable batteries and there isn't always a place to plug in my charger when I'm not home, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with solar chargers? If so how do the perform? The first charger seems to need this adapter but the other one seems to be a battery where you can plug in any device that has a standard household plug.



To moderators: This question is really only for notebooks so I thought it would be appropriate in this section. Moderators feel free to move it if you want.

Since a typical notebook charger is 45 watts, a 12 watt source will take ALL DAY to give u a full charge? (assuming sun stays on strong).
