I’ve to admit that I’m a late adopter for new gadgets, but I finally decided to buy my long overdue Solio. The universal solar powered battery charger is a one stop charging solution for all handheld electronics ranging from cell phones and iPods, to digital cameras and GPS.
It’s a “hybrid” charger, since it can use the power from the sun or a traditional wall socket. A fully charged Solio Classic will charge a typical mobile phone more than twice. I love the simplicity of the fan-like design. You simply spread out the blades for maximum sun exposure. There are 3 Solio chargers to choose from based on battery capacity and design: the Solio Classic, Solio Hybrid 1000 and the Solio Magnesium. I like the stylish Solio Classic in silver. Its compact lightweight design makes it easy to put into my purse or backpack. It’s essential that I can use it anywhere, since I go to Germany quite a bit. Better Energy Systems is the UK based company behind this amazing gadget. BES also developed an eco-friendly case through tread made from the inner tubes of tires recycled in South America.
