18 volt solar battery charger

[Colin Bruce]

Hello, hoping for advice on this... We intend to use 18volt Makita power tools high in the Khumbu mountains near Everest. With no mains power on site I’d appreciate any advice on an affordable yet lightweight, portable and efficient set up to recharge batteries. Probably x10 4.00 Ah units per day. Plenty sun generally! Thanks in advance, Colin

You can get a Car charger for the LXT batteries... says 70W input and takes 80mins to charge a 4.0Ah battery and accepts 12-24 VDC... You should be able to find one or more solar panels to give you this... preferably with integrated charge controllers.
