Battery Recharges using Sun



As he explains, "The batteries should just bask in the sun like a cat and left for a while, in a sunny window, they would slowly recharge." However, according to his blog post, the weather wasn't sunny enough to test the batteries more efficiently and electronics to show when the batteries are fully charged. Karlsen calls his DIY prototype "SunCat" batteries. He then glued the 1.8V solar cells and batteries. He was able to work with some flexible solar cells given to him by the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) in Norway.


Knut Karlsen, a blogger from Norway, hit upon this idea of a solar battery (a rechargeable battery with integrated solar cells) in hopes of making battery charging more convenient.
