This is not an efficient or reliable means of charging, and is not recommended.

Why should i buy SUNLITE
This lamp is powered from an environmentally friendly  “green source” of energy—natural light. Unlike conventional flashlights or gas-fuelled lanterns, there is no need to use pollution-causing fuels (such as kerosene or propane) or disposable batteries. All this contributes to reducing our Carbon foot print. The lantern is the cheapest and cost effective option to bring light into the 1 billion+ people around the world who do not have access to the electricity grid supply.  A one-time purchase will cost only free, readily available energy—direct sunlight thereafter to run.
