    I'm not saying throw them in the fire, but mounted to a small panel and placed with radiant heat you will get charge..

    Or as mega mentioned search biolite here..

    these are 2 very different things aren't they?.
    1 runs on electricity(peliter module) and the other converts heat to electricity.

    the ebay 2 wire job is what's used inside those cheaper coolers or warmers.
    supply power and 1 side gets hot the other side gets cold.
    it just depends which way up its mounted to what the end result is.
    peltier module is it's name.
    cheers

    Ohh or do ya mean use the electrical peliter module to run the heat charger?.
    I don't follow, use power up to charge something else.
