Abstract
Blacklight traps (BLT) are commonly used in trapping and monitoring systems (Harding et al. 1966), employing either a 12-V battery or commercial alternating current as the power source. Both power systems have major disadvantages. Batteries need to be recharged frequently (every 2–3 days), and the commercial alternating current system often restricts the BLT to locations that are not well suited for trapping or monitoring. We describe here a portable, solar-powered charging system for 12-V batteries, which we developed to overcome the disadvantages of these power systems.
