Adapters



Three more of my adapters arrived today, now I can actually go about recharging my battery, and powering my laptop off of it.

Total weight: 180g  Damn these adapters.



myPower female cigarette lighter Adapter(54g): plugs directly into the solar panel and has a female cigarette lighter adapter on the other end.  This came with the solar panel.


myPower All Car Charger(50g): Need this to plug into the solar panel(not a car as the name implies).  The solar panel only has a female car charger plug for output.


Tekkeon Sunbooster Solar Charging Adapter(26g):  Need this to plug into the above mentioned car charger, the other end goes into the battery.  This item is not 100% required, but it is fairly necessary as it  allows the solar panel to charge at lower voltage(down to 12V).



myPower ALL MagSafe Connector(50g): This is a custom item that Modern Outpost produces.  It connects my battery to my MacBook Air, letting the laptop run directly on DC power.  Without this I'd have to do a DC->AC->DC conversion and loose much of my potential power.
