Eco Factor: Eco-friendly gadget charger harvests solar energy.
Of all possible ways to charge your portable electronic gear with clean energy, solar-powered chargers seem the most practical. With manufacturers quickly catching up with the green trend, there has been a flood of solar-powered chargers on the markets. While many of them charge just one or two electronic devices, the Folding Solar Power Charger helps you charge your entire electronic gear using renewable solar energy.
Weighing just 175gm, the solar charger won’t add much weight to your backpack and will be able to charge your cellphone, digital camera, PDAs and PMPs using the energy harvested by its photovoltaic cells. The onboard solar panels produce an output of 5.5V at 150mA, which is used to recharge a built-in 1400mAh lithium battery. Moreover, if the sun is hidden behind clouds for a couple of days, you can also charge the onboard battery with an AC wall socket. This all-in-one solar charger can be purchased at Budget Gadgets for just $21.79.
