    Looking for a solution.

    Think I have an answer. We know more or less what the charger will consume per hour. I am guessing we are looking at the 170W as this is not the top model. I also assume that is 170W hour because what else can it be. A good guess would be 716W / 170W = 4 hours excluding its build in battery...

    "It doesn't make much sense" - Expert on SA's nuclear power plan

    Our Government took a metric ton of money for green energy.
