How to use solar battery charger for laptop?
Most of the laptops need 16V to 24 V for operation and cell phone or mobile handset require around 5Volts.
How longer the battery will remain charged?
As long as your solar charger is exposed to the Sun, it keeps charging the laptop battery. For example if your solar panel can generate 2 Amps per hour, then 5-hour of Sun exposure will generate 5x2=10 Amp-hours; if your laptop battery is 12 Volts then it will generate 12x10=120 Watt-hours9(Who). These 120 watt-hours are how much energy sun can provide in a day, considering 5 hour sun exposure of the solar cell. Normally, small notebook laptop consume 60 watt. So, with 120 WH, your laptop will run 120/60= 2 hours. If you need to increase the battery charging time, you just need to add more solar cells in you solar kit.
Note- 120 Watt-hour means, 120 Watt of power will be spended (or consumed by the laptop) over one hour of time. Since, small notebook needs only 60 Watt-hour, so it will run for 2 hours.

This is definitely a great idea, andromida. I'm actually now working with solar panels and so know a thing or two about just this. More and more of us are indeed going "Green" or are going even "Greener." Great hub my friend!
