Using the Sun as a Charger

Cell phones, laptops, tablets and other electronic devices need power. In most cases, that's electrical power supplied by a battery that gets recharged through an electrical current. But what about the times when you need to recharge a battery and there are no electrical outlets available? Enter the portable solar charger.

Solar charges use the energy from the sun and store it into cells which can then be transferred to your electronic equipment, replacing the need for a traditional electrical outlet. Portable solar chargers can be a godsend particularly for those that enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, backpacking, boating, rafting and off-road racing where there are few outlets to recharge batteries for cell phones, radios and other electronics. Not to mention solar power is GREEN and eco-friendly! Here are a few of the bestselling portable solar chargers available.

The Nomad

This handy solar charger has a pocket for your cell phone, a USB port and a 12 volt DC charging port so you can even use a cigarette lighter adapter in the car. As one reviewer wrote: "...the only one that works sufficiently that I can be completely off the grid with my backpacking devices and have no need for extra batteries."

The ReVive

The ReVive is an inexpensive portable solar charger that provides a full charge to most phones, MP3 players, GPS, iPod, iPhone, e-Readers, Bluetooth devices and other USB powered devices. It also comes with window suction mounts and has an LED power capacity monitor so you always know how much charger power you have left.

11-1 Battery Charger

I call this portable solar charger a necessity for family vacations. It can charge 11 different NiCd and NiMH battery sizes so you'll never be with a dead battery for your camera, flashlight or MP3 player again.
