going on extended backcountry trip...does the charger have a USB plug that can be plugged into a portable solar charger?

I will admit up front that I don't have a very good answer for you. The answer may require more research about your solar charger. Here's what I know... The charging cable *is* a USB cable, and the power supply that came with my WG-3GPS camera provides a USB connection and is labeled 5V 1A output. The camera documentation indicates it requires the battery be charged before connecting to a computer for file transfer and provides warnings about battery running down during transfer. I find that very odd, suggesting the camera won't charge from the computer port. Typically PC's provide only 0.5A on the built-in USB connectors. The user manual (available for download -- we'll see if the link I paste here will stay [http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/support/man-pdf/wg3.pdf]) also warns about using other chargers because they might cause damage or overheating. It also mentions the Qi wireless charging standard is supported, but I've never tried it. If your solar panel can't deliver 1A, maybe you can use it to trickle charge a "charging" battery pack that can provide the higher current. For longer battery life, definitely you need to turn off the GPS when you aren't actively taking pictures, and avoid using the pressure sensor too.

Yes it does, you just plug the cord into the portable charger and then into a all piece and charge it.

No. It has a USB charge cord that will hook into a USB on an adapter, but does not include that adapter. You can usually find them in stores for $5-$10.

I purchased this also to charge on my back country backpack trips. I use a 7 watt solar charger. Price and weight were the criteria for both.

The Solsti panels and battery pack come with a USB adapter to attach the battery pack to the solar panels directly. Charging input for the battery pack is a 5V input and is similar to a camera charging input so that type of adapter may work to charge the pack from another source, but I haven't tried that and you will want to check the voltage through the adapter so you don't burn up the battery pack.

Hmm, not really sure what kind of charging port the GPS uses, but it is possible if it is chargeable with USB port. Rugged Rukus has usb port that allows charging

Gorilla Gadgets Uhuru! Portable Battery Charger includes a USB to micro-USB cable, a micro-USB to Apple Lightning adapter, and a micro-USB to Apple 30-pin adapter. And yes, it charges with a USB / Micro-USB cable.

Yes it can. I leave mine plugged in all the time. I would also consider looking at the Duracell Powerpacks as they have a range of sizes - but they do not have the solar hookup - depends on what you are looking for.

This is essentially a battery pack that you can charge with a normal wall plug, car charger of solar pannel.Suggest you have a look at the manufacturer website for all the options and ones they have.I use this pack, but without solar pannel. Keeps the phones etc charged and light for couple days of camping.

Yes. For very long road trips, we have even plugged a power strip in to it and have several plugs. (So you can use your wall charger if you have to)

No, just a USB cable to connect to computer where it will recharge as long as the computer is turned on. For the price, it is hard to beat.

yes, you can use USB to charge. I suggest checking the manual for best guidance

Yes, underneath the grey rectangle on the black box with the wires coming out of it is a USB port. I used it to charge my Galaxy s3 etc. It is slow however. I think next time I may use it to charge a battery pack and then use the battery pack to recharge my gear.

If there is, it's by no means accessible to the average consumer. The clear answer is no. You can charge this through its micro usb port and then have it ready to power an electronic off the (full-size) usb slot when needed on the go. If it dies, you get a new one. If that's a concern then get a better, more expensive one.

YES! Here's how this works. The Guide 10 charges the battery pack, the battery pack charges your headlamp. I use a UV water purifier when I'm backpacking that has its own USB and charged that while backpacking. I also used this when I was in Congo this summer to charge my Olympus camera, which has its own USB cable as well. Run the USB cable from your headlamp into the USB outlet on the battery pack. Here's the math: the battery pack charged by the Guide 10 Plus holds up to 9200mAh when fully charged. If you charged the battery pack once and closed/put away the solar panel (say, in the morning when you're breaking down camp for example), then you can connect the battery pack to your headlamp and put it in a pocket of your jacket or backpack, it would charge your headlamp from dead to fully charged two times before you'd need to recharge the Goal Zero battery pack (your headlamp 4000 mAh x 2 full charges = 8000 mAh, the Goal Zero pack would still have 1200 mAh to spare). The output of the battery pack is UP TO 5.0v. I just verified that current is pulled, not pushed, so your headlamp will only draw what it needs (3.7v) despite the battery pack having the ability to put out the 5.0v. If you have any more questions, feel free to add a comment and I'll get back to you! (R.Fuller, Amazon Vine Reviewer)

I only see a USB connection. It can also be charged by the crank or by solar. Solar is being reported as weak, but ours is in the window all day long, so we have significantly more power in ours. The battery is a CR 123A. The crank works well and it is pretty sturdy.

No, not a USB. Just a regular charger. I use one from my old Samsung phone.
