Can you just hook this up directly to maybe a sealed lead acid battery
or a gel cell and charge it? I've never been clear on whether or not
electronic circuits are used to prevent overcharging or whether one of
these puts out enough juice to be concerned.

Most small solar panels have low amperage and will not over
charge a wet cell battery. If they were used to directly
charge a dry cell battery, such as a C or D cell they might
over charge, but a wet cell battery with an AHr rating of 25
amps can be charged indefinitely at a rate of 2-3 amps and
you will be using the battery to run an inverter to power
various other loads.

Yes, it comes with male and female cig lighter plugs as well as
alligator clips to hook right to the battery.

I say, hoof it over to the hilton. They have wireless for their guests.
There is no sign on page, but I have no idea what their range is.

And someone will be sitting there with their laptop watching everything
streaming by in the ether. Google "ethereal" for more information. :-))
Beware of ARP cache poisoning, also.
Never use any program which transmits any of your passwords over an open
wireless network.

Why would you not want to use any programs that transmits any passwords?
They are just as encrypted as they would be over a landline or dsl
connection.

Unless you are logging into a private VPN service through the open wifi
connection they are not. Beware of the man-in-the-middle!

Well, https is encrypted, for web stuff. Mostly, though, I connect
back to important places via SSH, which is very carefully encrypted.
If you've connected from that laptop to that destination before, SSH
also remembers the host key info, and can then detect
man-in-the-middle attacks, as can https.

What is SSH? I guess Im right about the https being encrypted. I doubt you
would have any problems as long as you are using web stuff.

Some Whataburgers now have wifi. You dont even have to go in. Just sit in
the comfort of your car.
