Well, I can take my n810 from dead to full with a set of 4 2500mah rechargables (5000mah once you combine the four batteries into 2 sets to get 4.8v) without much problem, so a 6000mah should do just fine and have juice to spare.

I'm one of those who think mAh can be misleading to write on batteries, would be happier with mWh

Bah, my math sucks. You're right. lol. But yes, I can take a nit from zero to full with a set of four of those. It dies at the end, but it gets there.

People are running their batteries down to shut down? Wow. Once I get the warning it's off to the charger for me.

Well, some of us can't get to a charger right away and ultimate use the device until it does. Then again, sometimes it's a good idea to run a battery dead periodically to help keep it healthy.

Umm no. I can fully charge my Solio on less than 1 day's direct sunlight. yes the Wall charger is faster but then we expect that.
Plus, I found that the solio could not completely charge my N800 from being dead to full battery. Once again, perhaps I had a faulty one...

I did notice that it would get extremely hot, which made me wonder about how long the lithium-ion battery would last under those brutal conditions... Now, I don't even use it anymore as it has become essentially useless to me.
Edit: I had previously picked up a solar battery pack that *claimed* to have a 3000 mAh battery in it, and I was not able to get it to fully charge my N810. When I say "fully charge", I mean from completely dead. I would run the N810 until it shut off, plug in the charger, start up the N810 and then charge the N810 in sleep mode until the battery pack ran out of juice.
