Of the solar chargers to choose from, my favorite might be the Powermonkey eXplorer for the versatility it has to offer. The heart and soul is in the Powermonkey eXplorer unit and the solar slave. The unit is a blue LCD displaying battery capacity and charge level. There are several ways to get charge into this. Opt for the solar slave, a compact and durable solar panel that you flip open to harness the sun’s energy. But what’s nice is that it’s ready to be packed away for any adventure because the kit also comes with a universal mains charger that will work in over 150 countries.
Use the Powermonkey eXplorer with phones, PDAs, digital cameras, iPods, portable game concoles, and more. It takes 3.5 hours to fully charge. Check out more at the website.
