I am trying to design a small instruction manual for a small solar-powered radio (http://www.sonsetradio.net/). Ideas for the following are welcome:

I am having a hard time coming up with an illustration to show that the battery gets recharged faster in bright sunlight, and it takes longer when it's cloudy. The illustration can be in black, white, and solid colors, and needs to fit in a space of about 2.5 (w) x 2 (h) inches, max.

Also, an illustration to show that when the sound is too quiet, it needs charging. Must fit in 2.5 x 1.8 inches, max.

Anybody want to show off their ideas? I don't need anything terribly professional; just some sketches would suffice, since whatever ideas I get I would probably draw myself into FreeHand MX '04.

it's pronounced "tonics"

well, to show the battery filling up faster in brighter light you could do something like this:
