Do you have the 12 V car charger already? How many Amps do they take?

Linocell 20W solar panel (842 gram) took 2h and 10 minutes to charge my old LP-E6 from 25% to 90%. The panel was behind a window during morning light. For charger I used Jupio Duo-charger (USB).

This will not work for your 1D X II.

thanks for info, still searching for !DX solution

Hi there! I recently went on a similar type of backpacking trip, and I was lucky enough to have a friend who had a lightweight solar panel. It was lightweight, easy to use, and gave me the power I needed to keep my electronics going the whole trip. If you want to learn more about solar panels you might check out https://yenex.com. My friend got the panel from a local outdoor store, and I'm sure if you look around, you'll be able to find one that works for you. Good luck on your backpacking trip!
