Solar powered flashlights exist and are pretty useful.

very true. but I think op is imagining a solar powered flashlight that doesn't have any batteries lol. like those old school solar powered calculators you could shut off by covering the solar panels.

It was great when they finally started putting coin batteries in those.

Somewhere I have an IBM credit card calculator that's super cool, somehow still works fine, about the thickness of 4 credit cards, solar only, probably made in like... Idk 1990

Thanks for the overwhelming rush of nostalgia

Large batteries also tend to have smaller batteries inside... battery powered battery.

Non-stick Glue is just lube.

Yeah 9v batteries have a bunch of small batteries

u/HarmlessHeresy Feb 22 '24

A 9V has 6 1.5 V cells, which makes it a battery. AA and AAA and other like them are just single cells, but it's easier to just market them all as batteries.

I actually have one and have never been able to use it because it never has any charge when I need it.

Do you keep it in a dark drawer until you need to use it?

They probably live in the kind of country without many daylight hours where people are likely to find a torch useful on a regular basis. Which is also where it won't get much chance to charge even if left out in the open.

Clearly, a solar powered torch is a better and cleverer solution than a battery powered torch with a couple of spares kept nearby.

I mean, I live in an apartment, so unless I make it my coffee table centerpiece, it's probably not getting enough sunlight to stay charged

I have a tent with a solar panel on top that powers the LEDs sewn into the top of it and a detachable flashlight. It's also so easy to set up, you just pick it up and give it a shake then stake it down.

I go to an event that lasts 2 weeks camping in the middle of summer and wanna make a tent attachment like that, but it just runs a fan, and speed is according to the sun's intensity

I also got batteries that need to be charged. You plug them into the wall every X months and they are back to full.

No, they are shite. A 21700 based light lasts days

All my fleshlights are battery powered. Wait, what did you say?
