Aztechnology SunCell

These portable solar chargers are used to repower drones or other equipment in the field. A Rating 1 SunCell, about the size of a smartphone, can fully repower the typical 6-hour battery of a one-handed tool or device or a drone of Body 1 with 12 hours of charging time. A Rating 2 SunCell, about the size of a toolkit, can fully charge a two-handed weapon or device or a drone of Body 2. A Rating 3 SunCell, the size of a backpack, can recharge a Rating 3 drone, a stationary but lift-able appliance, or a powered vehicle of Body 1-2 in that time. A portable SunCell has an Availability of (Rating/6) and a cost of Rating x 500 nuyen.

In each case, a SunCell can charge drones with half or less the Body of its Rating in half as much time, or with up to double its Rating in twice as much time, but is not compatible with devices larger than twice its body, and cannot charge them at all. For these purposes, a Drone with Body 0 is considered to have a body of 1/2. There is no further multiplier for smaller drones or devices. Any hour with at least 3/4ths cloud cover reduces the charging speed by one-half, and any hour with cloud cover accompanied by precipitation negates the ability of the charger completely.

To charge a larger drone or vehicle, the SunCell must be treated as a Vehicle Modification, as it is in Arsenal. Chargers of that size and weight are not considered metahuman-portable. For other means of charging drones, see the Drone Rack and GridLink Vehicle Modifications in Arsenal.
