Solio Universal Hybrid Solar Charger (Pink) from:
Better Energy SystemsThe Solio universal "hybrid" solar charger is powerful enough to charge
all of your handheld electronic products at home or on the move. The
Solio works by absorbing power from either four hours in the wall
socket or 8 to 10 hours of direct sunlight, and then storing the energy
within its internal battery. Once the Solio's battery is full, you can
use the unit to charge your cell phone, iPod, MP3 player, PDA, game
player, GPS, fish finder, or digital camera, making it a powerful
all-in-one battery charger. The universal charger is also
environmentally friendly and cost-effective, as the sun- based energy
is completely free and creates no harmful impacts. And the design
couldn't be simpler, with a fan-blade outlay that achieves maximum
solar area when in use. Just spread out the blades, expose them to
direct sunlight either outdoors or affixed to a window, and get ready
to take your power on the road.
The pink Solio charges your
electronics at the same rate as a conventional charger, and stores
enough juice to fully charge an average cell phone at least once or an
iPod nano at least two times. In addition, the Solio can charge your
electronics directly rather than relying on the built-in battery. An
hour of sun, for instance, will deliver enough power for about an hour
of iPod playing time, 10 minutes of cell phone talk time, or four hours
of cell phone standby time. Finally, the energy in the Solio's built-in
battery doesn't need to be redeemed immediately, as it stores the juice
for more than a year.
To make the Solio easier to use, the
device comes with a series of interchangeable tip system connectors,
including connectors for Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung cell phones,
along with a mini-USB tip and an interchangeable tip system cable. And
travelers will love the included global wall charger, with adapters for
the U.S., U.K., Europe, and Australia/New Zealand. The Solio, which
measures 2.5 by 1.3 by 4.7 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a one-year
warranty.
