Solio Classic Solar Charger

Solio Classic Solar Charger description

The Solio Classic Solar Charger restores the juice in your iPod, cell phone, and digital camera using stored energy from the sun or a typical wall socket.

Bottom Line: Use the Solio Universal Charger to power up your portable electronics around the house, the base camp, or anywhere there's sunshine.

This is great to have camping, day hiking, traveling, and in your car. It will hold a charge almost a year, and will charge just about any personal device except a laptop. I love mine and it has come in handy so many times I never leave home without it. Plus, Solar Power is green

I've had one of these for about 2 years - it still holds a good charge and the integrated batteries charge my cell phone twice when full. This said, it's not very quick to charge if you stick it on a window and is somewhat expensive for the watt output (the solar panels generate just under 1 watt).

I spent three months camping and doing small mammal research in the western Colorado back-country. This little device charged my cell phone and iPod.If you read the directions, it says it has to be pointed towards the sun to have the greatest charge. All I did was mount it on a stick, and turn it towards the sun every 3 hours or so. I got a full charge every day doing this. You can't go wrong for the size, especially when weight and space are concerns.

I just came back from a 12 day river trip. I was under direct sunlight all but one afternoon. It took two full days of full sunlight to charge the battery. Something to be aware off if you're in less than direct sunlight. The Solio was very finicky on charging. It did work once to charge my ipod and cell phone. Later in the trip it wouldn't do a thing, even though it had a full charge. I was grateful for the two charges it gave me. I was upset and frustrated when it failed, especially once I relied on it. I'm going to work with it now that I'm home and see if it a defective model or if it's just unreliable. It did work for awhile, but if you're going to depend on it, be careful.
