Hey Y'all

I'm want to get a solar charger/battery for BM. My question is does anyone know what the connector type for a psihoop is? I see all these neat chargers yet I haven't a clue what to get mainly because of the psihoop. Anyone have experience with this?

I'm looking at these stores at the moment:

      So I just got an email from patrick and here is the gist of what he said:
      "its the same tip that goes into the hoop from the regular charger...like a stereo mini plug,"

      So yea I think I need to find out if there is a technical name to this tip so I know what to look for when purchasing connectors. Perhaps Black Rock Solar peeps know... hrm maybe I can email them too.

      And this, although mari posted this already:

      the solar charger needs to put out 6V or 7.5 V and should be around 300 mA...

      And I've found a charger that does do 6v to 9.5 v which should be good for hopefully anything, everything. =)
