I made a video last year about charging my boosted board from my Yeti 400 solar generator. This is a SUCCESSFUL re-engineering of that system, designed to get size and weight down to a level that can be comfortably transported via a backpack.

Here’s the original Yeti 400 video that started this project: https://youtu.be/VlaHBB3GRwg
