[P1] Solar Laptop Charger

[Joe Jones]

These probably don't have the power to charge your battery, like  
airline power points they only deliver 12 volts.

This is enough (just about) to power the iBook, but it's insufficient  
to power the iBook and charge the battery at the same time.

The iBook's power supply outputs 24V at 1.8A, which is about 43 watts -  
you'll need that much power to charge and run the iBook at the same  
time.

Just running the iBook will need about 24 watts, at 12V.
