Recharging with solar

Tips
- A 16-inch MacBook Pro has a 100Wh battery, the largest allowed on planes.
- Running it from the Pecron E1500LFP’s DC port instead of the AC outlet avoids inverter losses: about 108Wh more usable energy.
- The Pecron E1500LFP uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.
