Is this baked??
Searched for a while and could only find ‘outboard’ solar chargers.
Anyway:
Use the flip cover on your palm pilot as a solar panel when closed. It offers quite a large surface area, and although could probably not charge the batteries to full, could extend the time between
charges.
At the very least it’d maintain the batteries from completely discharging and possible damage.

I wired my TI-83 Plus with recargable batteries and put a small solar cell above the screen. I just set it out in the sun when I'm not using it and never have to buy batteries untill my rechargables wear out. But that takes about 3 years of moderate useage |

[dickity] where did you get the solar cell? I'd love to try that on a few of my toys! |
