The solar box

You can find this cases on well know portal with a name starting with "A", they are usually called "solar charger for 18650" , or "camera charging", etc. The box is build of black plastic, has a decent solar panel, and a place to install 6x18650 lipo batteries. The box will also have charging board. They are also weather resistant. I didn`t have any issues with it, even though the oldest boxes are in use for about 6 months. This boxes can be found for 16-20 Euro
