Product Description

The Solar charger i101 series from iceTECH USA, is capable of charging 99% of all mobile phones or USB interface digital products (MP3/MP4 players, etc..) which have operational voltage of 3.5-5 Volts. The Solar battery itself can be charged two ways, either by using direct sunlight (8-10hrs) or by plugging it directly into an electrical outlet (3-4hrs). Once the Solar Battery is charged you may use it to charge other devices such as your cell phone or any MP3/MP4 device. It will charge them at the same time frame as your conventional charger. You can also charge your device "on the go" by plugging it into the battery and leaving the battery under direct sunlight. One hour of charging from direct sunlight provides about 1hour of mp3 playback. When charging a cell phone directly from the sun, 60 minutes of sunlight will provide approximately 25 minutes of talk time and ten hours of standby time. A fully charged SOLAR i101 will completely charge an average cell phone and many of them - even twice. Package Includes: SOLAR i101 charger, universal 12-volt wall adapter; cell phone adapter plugs (Samsung®, Motorola®, Nokia®, mini-USB), universal cable, female standard USB adapter (powers iPod®), convenient carry-on pouch with lanyard and instruction manual. *ATTN: Due to appearance of weak and potentially hazardous copies on the market, make sure to buy from our licensed vendors!

Charger and back-up power source for mp3 / mp4 players, KEO media players, Zune, Sansa, i-Pods, etc. Dimensions: 90*40*10 mm; Weight: 100g.

This review is from: Solar battery / charger (i101) - 1250mAh rechargeable polymer solar battery (charger) for cell-phone, mp3 player, media player. With 6 USB adapters (Toy)

again, great idea; poorly implemented. charged it up via an AC outlet then tried to test it on my Nokia N95. all my phone did was say, "not charging". then when plugging it back up, the LED failed to light up to show that it was charging, so i think it's broken.

i'm going to look into getting a Brunton.

I tried a number of different devices on this from cell phone to bluetooth headphones to iPod and really couldn't get it to charge much at all. Maybe it was user error, but I just could not get it to work... Oh, well...

This is really good. The only complaint i have is that it feels a little cheap when you hold it, and you can feel stuff rattling around inside, but otherwise a really great product. This also includes a little led flash light. You can get your device to charge off of this for a while if it is in the sun. It has saved me a few times.
