Solar Chargers

Have you ever bee in your car and needed to charge your phone or other gadget? Sometimes it can be a real hassle trying to find a way to charge it when you have other phone service devices plugged in the cigarette lighter. Solar chargers for gadgets are becoming more common, and convenient. There's the mPowerpad that charges multiple devices, for example. But for those that want a little style, there's the XDModo Solar Window Charger. The charger has USB and mini-USB outputs. Odds are most people will use the USB since that's the charger end of most smartphone cables – be they for Android, iPhone or others. The battery inside has a 1300 mAh capacity – most smartphone batteries average around 1500 mAh, so it's pretty close to the full charge. That said, after it charges up during the day, it can keep your phone going through the night, or supplement the battery when it runs low. The output is five volts at 500 mA, plenty for charging anything but an iPad. The maker, Xindao, is in Europe. You can purchase it online for about $65 but you'll have to shell out for shipping to the U.S. – about $65 as well.

Hopefully this solar charger comes to the U.S soon. Phone services need a better way to charge.

Put the phone down and don't use a s many phone services like voicemails and you won't need a charge.

Solar energy is Eco-friendly just like using internet fax over traditional fax is.

Phone services like voicemails and texting just drain the battery so fast.
