Not much good for a windmill I'm afraid. It should, in theory, work for a small solar panel as a trickle charger, but nothing to serious. The 300 to 900mA rating mean its only good for approx 4 to 10 watts.

RATS I was hoping that someone has looked at these and could give advice on possibly changing some of the electroics out to make it work. these things are all over. people throw them away because they forget to keep them charged.the batteries cost almost double the cost of the whole thing. I had 6 that people thuraway. i used most of them to fix damaged ones that some of our police officers damaged will they were in their trunks.
