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.
