I wonder if you could significantly charge the batteries from the energy of a vibrating wind. Or (and this is out there) from atmospheric electricity

You can definitely significantly charge batteries from sun - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Pathfinder - but it's at the moment far from a convenient commercial solution.
