This is my first electrical project. I built a USB Portable charger/power output device. My question is rather simple. I'm using a Solar Panel and a Re-chargeable Battery; I simply need to know if the Solar Panel can charge the battery at all, or if it is more or less a wasted effort.
Solar Panel:
Typical Power Output: 1W
Typical Output Voltage: 9V ~5%
Typical Output Current: 112mA ~5%
Re-chargeable Battery:
Typical Power Output: 9V DC
Typical Current: 170mA
Please note that the circuit of the battery can be turned off for charging cycle(s). Creating a direct link between the battery and solar panel; with the positive lead of the solar panel using a diode for 1-Way energy transfer.
