    Recharging battery

    Just get a USB to 12v adapter, like you'd use in a car cig lighter. Then just plug in to a 12v plug and charge off that. We had one in the kitchen of our travel trailer and used to charge phones off it all the time. iPad Air 32Gb Wi-Fi; 17" MacBook Pro; 24" iMac; iPhone 4; iPod Nano 6th Gen...
