    Amazing deal on a NEW, Solo backpack! :-) [SOLD: FINALLY!]

    Is this still available? If so how much is shipping to Anaheim CA 92806? It is a commercial address so should be cheaper.

    Solo charging using 19v laptop charger

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure if you carefully read my post. #2 is using the same voltage and current as the stock power supply. #3 uses the factory power supply. Why would either one of these not work? The solo factory power supply is just a power supply. It does not function as a...

    Solo charging using 19v laptop charger

    Hi. I'm new to the solo. Bought a used one at a great price recently and love it. My issue is that I have 3 batteries and sometimes need to charge it in remote locations where there is no AC outlet. I have a battery pack with 19v output for laptop charging. M10 - Portable Power Station|Power...
