>Agreed, but that's the kind of thing that should be one of the first things you think about in these scenarios with powered electronics, and it wasn't treated here at all.

If you wish to bake an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

Of course, any discussion involving off grid power would involve a symposium on the chemistry of photovoltaic cells, an introduction to EM physics and silicon manufacturing.

Or just assume someone will figure out they need a solar pack from REI.

Sure, if you want to pay 3x higher for it than else where. I love REI, but my wallet hates it when I visit.

Yeah, if there are equivalents for cheaper elsewhere, I understand. But I trust the brands that are sold there, and the return policy, so the premium is worth it for someone who can (a) afford it and (b) will use the product.
