Why not build up a solar charger? The current required to charge those
batteries isn't that high, and 12 volt batteries would be as precious a
commodity as anything else. A solar charger should be able to be
constructed that would bring up a set of batteries without too much
difficulty. I've contemplated the same idea for charging HT batteries.
