So once "the end" comes, you'll be set for a good 4 hours before your phone runs out of battery?

- irrational 8y agoYou could recharge your phone using sticks (https://www.rei.com/product/115523/biolite-wood-burning-campstove-2-with-flexlight https://www.rei.com/product/115523/biolite-wood-burning-camp...) or a solar panel.

The real solution is a radioisotope thermoelectric generator which will give you a few hundred watts for decades. But I don't think they sell those online...
- kybernetikos 8y agoMy phone lasts a good 20 hours! Also, I do have a solar cell, but yeah, modern phones aren't really designed for post apocalyptic conditions surprisingly. Fortunately, all that is also useful in tunnels, underground bars, the countryside and when travelling abroad.
