these would drain device's battery and there is no electricity to recharge
We need more widespread use of solar recharging.
You can already get crank, solar, battery chargers, although they aren't too common. I have one, it's pretty neat. The solar is probably the best... it takes a lot or cranking to retain a stable charge.
@Corkyskog the solar ones are readily available in my country (priced at about 2-3 hours' worth of minimum wage).
But we need to roll these out to places that might need them more.
Crank ones sound interesting. I've only seen radios and torches.
