Sorry 'bout the unclear writing.  I'm suggesting using the solar
panel to power the MaHA.  Should be pretty simple to limit the
voltage output from the solar panel to 13.5 volts if the  MAHA
cigarette adapter doesn't do this. Direct powering should work and it
would save bulk and increase efficiency. Looking at the numbers, you
might be able to use a harness and charge two ~6000 mah  LiOn
batteries at once with your 20 watt panel.  Rob D.
