The Solio Battery Charger

The Solio Charger is a small solar powered battery charger. It has its own internal battery which can store solar energy collected from the sun.

It is different than a simple solar panel. The Solio Charger, having an internal battery, can store the energy collected through the solar cells. This energy can then be used at a later time, in order to recharge small electrical devices such as cell phones, MP3 Players, PDAs etc.

It acts as a solar rechargeable battery, which can then be used to recharge other devices.

The advantage of this system is that you can have the solar battery charge during the day, and then use the built up charge to recharge a small electrical device at night (or some other time when you do not have access to sufficient sunlight).

In other words, you are not stuck to daytime hours for the use of your solar charger.

The Solio features a fan-blade design which helps it to receive maximum coverage yet remain small and compact, for easy storage and transportation.

When you wish to charge your Solio, simply spread out the 3 solar panels and expose them to sunlight (either outside, or at a window). The Internal battery will recharge within 8 to 10 hours.

Once fully charged, the Solio will charge your electrical device at the same rate as if your device was plugged into a regular charger in a wall socket. It will charge the average cell phone at least twice, before it needs to be recharged again in the sun.

An additional feature of the Solio Charger is that you can also charge it with a regular electrical wall socket. When charging in this way, it takes the Solio 4 hours to be fully charged and ready for the road. Once the Solio is fully charged, it will keep its charge for about a year without the need for recharging (if unused).

The Solio can also be used to charge an electrical device directly from the sun. When it is used this way, 60 minutes of sunlight will provide about 25 minutes of talk time and 10 hours of standby on the average cell phone. Charging an iPod directly from the sun for 60 minutes will provide roughly 60 minutes of playtime.
