HAHA THAT is not good.

I have the energizer phone thing that is battery (AA I think) that you plug in and you get power.

I think it was $12 at Home Depot.

Why can't they come out with a decent, rugged crank or solar charger? frown

For $1.04 less, I recently saw one in Radio Shack that has all those features, plus a compass.

I did not get it, so I can't comment on quality. Similar form factor, but oblong body shape.
