Hi bros

So Im going camping and when I use my laptop I only get an hour ive seen these power packs on amazon and they look like rechargeable car batteries, it seems they only go for about 4 hours?

Then there are solar panels where you need about a kitchen sized solar panel to get it to run.

Then theres a petrol generator and that was said to only run for 4 hours for 1 fuel tank or something

Whats the best solution here?

I can charge from mains and bring it to camp but not very often like once a week so I like to use my laptop alot, how do I get some decent usage

Cheers

Do you have a vehicle? You can use the battery in your car to charge your laptop.

You can even make a homemade one with a motor from an off cast treadmill and a proper voltage regulator.

Most people have no idea that when using there treadmill feeding it input power spins the motor BUT removed from the treadmill and independent and you provide the external pully spin the motor than becomes a generator.

Why on Earth would someone go to the great outdoors then waste it playing on a laptop? Just how much lower can the collective intelligence go?
