Even if you could get the full output of those teeny tiny solar panels (and ya can't, they're wrapped around a cylinder which means half the panel will effectively be in the dark) there isn't enough "oomf" to charge the batteries. It's doubtful they even have enough to trickle charge them to maintain the battery once it's charged to full in a real charger. Another tree hugger idea that has NO engineering behind it.

They would never replace a good battery that will last 3 or 4 times longer. Those batteries would go good in remotes or small devices that do not demand alot of power. @Gadget Sleuth

Imagine what would happen to Duracell! The horror! Its like solar or electric cars; the makers won’t allow this to happen, in a widespread, economical sense anyway.

But seems too cost-effective to the consumer to ever happen, sigh. I’m first in line if these ever go into production! But seems too cost-effective to the consumer to ever happen, sigh.
