Recharging with solar

Tips
- A 16-inch MacBook Pro has a 100Wh battery, the largest allowed on planes.
- Running it from the Anker SOLIX C1000’s DC port instead of the AC outlet avoids inverter losses: about 74Wh more usable energy.
- The Anker SOLIX C1000 uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.
