Hi everyone!
I know it's not about Kindle, but maybe you guys know something as you talk about solar chargers. I've decided to assemble a "portable" solar battery to charge my K2i. I've made a great deal buying 10 damaged cells which I used. Eventually the battery is approx. 35x85 cm so that's portability for you.
My question is: It says on the Kindle that it should be charged with DC 4.9V 0,85A. How flexible is the device? Can I use a slightly different current?
Thanks a lot.
