Portable Solar-Powered Charger 0

Save the planet whilst charging your iPhone! Hippy.

The more reliant we become on the dozens of portable electronics that we use on a daily basis, the more likely we are to occasionally be caught with our pants down when those devices run out of power and craps out on us at the most inopportune of times. Most of us don’t have car charger for every device that we own, and some of us don’t even have a car at all. So what are we to do when we’re lost somewhere unknown with no battery left in our phones, iPods, GPS navigators and Nintendo DS?


Now you just need a USB powered beer cooler and you’re all set.

Solio has a solution in the form of portable, solar powered power generators that draw power from the sun and pass it on to your mobile devices. There are two different models to choose from, the H1000 Universal Hybrid Charger and the Classic Universal Hybrid Charger. Both chargers work with virtually any device, and extra tips and cables are always being made available on their website.

This device is probably not going to be of any use to you if you live in San Francisco or Seattle, where it is almost never sunny, but the rest of us could really benefit from this eco-friendly device. The Solio chargers are particularly useful for travel, as you won’t really have to worry about power outlet conversion.

Both the H1000 and the Classic Universal Hybrid Charger are available now at solio.com.
