Yeah, well, not so good for the solar charger. I don't know how hot it got. Actually, yes I do--it got hot enough to melt the solar charger. It still works, after a fashion, but I think this one is going to the recycling center.


And the next one is going to avoid that kind of oven. If I'd only known, I probably could have cooked dinner there.
