Solar Cell Phone Chargers - Unusual Cool Gadgets

Justifying the purchase of a solar cell phone charger on environmental grounds requires a lot of faith. We've got a sneaky suspicion that any reduction in green house gas emissions resulting from their use is unlikely to exceed those produced when manufacturing and distributing them. On the other hand they're cool electronic gadgets and we don't know anyone who doesn't enjoy using the latest latest tech gadgets.

Solar Powered Cell Phone Chargers

Solar Charger

The catch is that unless solar powered cell phone chargers are at least as easy and convenient to use as a regular AC cell phone charger, they are unlikely to be used except when power from the wall is unavailable. As a result the more popular units such as the Solio Universal Charger are hybrids. They incorporate re-chargeable batteries that can be topped up either by the sun or a regular AC wall outlet.

The main justification for these units is that they are a universal phone charger. They will charge nearly any handheld device: MP3 player, PDA, GPS, wireless phone headset, ... or cell phone. Road warriors love them. Less wires and less risk of leaving a charger and handheld device behind.

The Voltaic Solar Panel Backpack offers an alternative approach to capturing solar energy. It has a large solar collection panel that is exposed to sunlight even while the user is strolling down a footpath or mountain trail. As a consequence, its in-built batteries can be recharged rapidly and without need for advanced scheduling. The fact that it's also a robust backpack is a bonus.

Dynamo Cell Phone Chargers

One of these could be worth its weight in gold in the event of a natural disaster. In situations where physical survival is the primary consideration they definitely have a role. On the other hand the average businessman maybe hesitant to use a hand crank charger in an office or airport lounge. The American Red Cross FR150 combines a dynamo cell phone charger with a solar cell phone charger, AC options, plus a radio and a torch in the one package.

Battery Operated Cell Phone Chargers

While there is a Solio charger that will directly top up a cell phone using the sun rather than an intermediate storage battery, it's practicality is questionable. Who can be without their phone for 4-8-12 hours at a stretch while it lays in the sun alongside a solar charger? There is no getting away from battery operated cell phone chargers.

The big brand in the AA cell phone charger space is iGo. True they are not a solar cell phone charger, but inexpensive iGo chargers can be used to top up nearly any handheld device. They can be used to rapidly charge MP3 players, Kindles, gaming equipment ... and do it mid-flight. They are compact and will even charge two devices at once using a splitter with appropriate "Tips."

iGo Everywhere - Universal AC and DC Charger

They are inexpensive insurance for anyone who uses a cell phone to earn a living. I keep one in my bag at all times and always take it on flights together with spare batteries. Until someone develops a more practical solar cell phone charger, it will remain my preferred way of topping up handheld devices when on the road.
