Solar battery charger
If you are an alternative energy addict, you must have a solar battery charger. If you don't, you have no idea what you are missing out on! Imagine being out and about driving when suddenly you get that familiar low-battery beep from your cell phone. No worries if you have a handy, portable solar battery charger...just hook the charger to the phone and let the solar panels rest on the dash board. Using solar technology, solar battery chargers harness the power of the sun to power devices as small as cell phones and PDA's, to boat and car batteries. They are in high demand recently because they are fairly inexpensive and provide battery charging no matter where you go (just don't go sit in a dark closet).
As solar technology advances, the chargers get smaller and more compact while still providing powerful charging power. The charger pictured above not only absorbs solar energy but all light energy, making it useful anywhere there is natural or man-made light. A popular solar battery charger is the Solio Universal Solar Charger which has a sleek, compact design and is compatible with the iPod Mini, 3GB and 4GB iPods, iPod Photo, iPod Video, iPod Nano, and iPod Shuffle. It is also compatible with cell phones and other portable electronic devices. One hour of charging in the sunlight will provide approximately 1 hour of playtime for an iPod. Its unique fan blade design allows it to achieve maximum solar area when in use, and to fold compactly to the size of an average mobile phone when stored.
Stop by our solar store and find a solar battery charger...whether you're environmentally conscious, searching for an independent source of energy, or you need a "just in case" charger. You could be that person driving while your phone beeps over and over, or you can be the person driving that has the answer for that beep.
