Solar Powered Chargers for Gadgets and Gizmos – Part 1

Now everybody who has a gadget or two in your arsenal that you carry around knows that these dandy gadgets have a knack for running out of battery power when you need them most. Add to that our never ending thirst for electrical power to power up these devices and the opposing need for more environmentally friendly options for the same applications. Your cellular phone gets low on battery power during an important call, your MP3 player or Ipod quits while listening to your favorite track and so on and so forth. Sometimes you just feel like throwing them out the window but not after you realize they cost you an arm and leg and start caressing them as if they were your pets. Well, the smart guys at Voltaic have come up with a neat way of getting a back-up charging facility built into the lowly backpack.

Everybody has loved the backpack for it’s ability to hold just about anything like a semester’s worth of gunk and what a better way of improving something old than incorporating into it a photovoltaic cell that charges a built in battery that stores enough power to charge just about all current gizmo’s and gadgets. From your laptop, to your Ipod or cellular phone, they can all be charged with the use of the said backpack. The system has the photovoltaic cells and internal circuitry maintain a charge everytime you are outside under the sun. The system can either be used to trickle charge these digital devices if the battery is topped up. The internal circuit keeps the internal battery charged so you get power when you need it. You can even plug-in your laptop as you walk around to keep it topped up so it is topped up as you use it. You can plug in your cell phone as you talk so you don’t use up the said device’s own battery and function as if it was plugged into the wall outlet.
