I acquired a Soldius1 solar charge a year ago to charge my granddaughters iPod and mobile phone while we where hiking in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

It comes with seven plastic plugs for receiving 250 different devices including power-hungry iPods, Zen Micro MP3 players, BlackBerrys, and cell phones from Nokia, Siemens, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, and Motorola.

The solar charger worked just as the company said it would, and billed my granddaughters iPod in less than 3 hours. Where we go camping there are more moose than cell phone systems, so keeping the phone charged wasnt a challenge.

It is a fantastic charger, but with a 1.1 watt/6 volt status youre restricted to the

number of devices it could demand throughout the span of a day.

This fact was born out when my spouse and I recently took my daughter and two of her friends hiking. The camp site looked like a store for Radio Shack. 300zx hoods

As it can try, the Soldius1 was no match for all your electronic gizmos these teens brought along. MORE POWER was definitely needed by us.

We were given by the Brunton Solaris 25 solar charger with 25 watts/15.4 volts worth of charging power, exactly what we needed. Everything is charged by its high output solar panels from cell phones to car batteries. Best of all, it prices iPods and cell phones by 50 percent enough time it took for the Soldius1.

If you think about the wide selection of larger electric devices it can power, the

durability, (they use these on the polar ice cap), and the velocity with which it costs, the Brunton Solaris 25 is a true value.

Yet another thing - you are able to link around three models for triple the power.

Whether youre employing a solar charger for camping or charging the batteries on your boat, its hard to beat clean and inexpensive solar power.
