How To Make a Solar Charging Bag
Watch this video for a demonstration of “How To Make a Solar Charging Bag”. To complete the task, you will need:
Solar-powered garden lights
A flat-head screwdriver
A Phillips-head screwdriver
Get started with the first step: Carefully remove the solar panel from the light fixture with a screwdriver. It should have two wires soldered to a rechargeable battery. Detach the wires using the wire cutters, and strip the ends with the wire strippers.

this is actually better idea then using electricity paying for it. It takes a lot of hard work to make electricity to begin with and it would be a little cleaner planet if there was no need in electricity. So the solar chargin method is actually cool but the problem is not enough people use it

Batteries are …
Batteries are expensive now a days. And if you have an phone that doesn’t use interchangable batteries like the iPhone then it is useful. And things die after awhile too even if you fully charged them before going out.
