Super Angie...Russia part 8

One thing about climbing mountains...I MUST have my iPod! I used it the whole time, on all the previous hikes and it needed charging. Lucky for us, we had our GOAL0 charger.
Even though the Barrels had electricty, it was easier to charge the iPods using the Sherpa 50 because we didn't need to bring a converter with for the plugs, and we have to charge our iPods using a USB port. It charged my iPod quickly, which was great. But then the next day, Joe was interested in charging his, and the Sherpa was now dead.
So, we set up the solar panels outside and started charging the Sherpa50.

It completely charged in just one hour!
Yea! I'm so glad we had the Sherpa 50 with us. Made life in the barrels easier.

The sun was very bright with lots of UV at 13,000', and this battery pack (Sherpa 50) was a pre-production alpha model with a minor firmware glitch that makes the meter read incorrectly at low power, so your results might vary...(sorry, standard disclaimer - lol)
