    Just read a few reviews. Not sure if its the exact same model, but looks like it.
    Some reviewers saying that they're disappointed - to charge via USB you first need to have 2 fully charged batteries in place. To charge two aa batteries, you're looking at a week or so charge time!

    I've had one of these for a year and cannot recommend them at all, absolute rubbish.

    Voltage: 4,5V DC
    Charging Current: 150-200 mAh

    Watts = volts x current

    watts = 4.5x150 or 200

    So you would be getting between

    0.675 and 0.9 watts with this little charger.

    This company makes similar but more powerful devices (also more expensive.)

    Not so I've had two of them for about a year on a sunny day it'll fully charge 2 AA batteries if positioned correctly longest it's ever taken is 2 days if it's dull. I just leave them on the window and use them as I need them usually for XBox /Wii remotes. Very handy .
