Product Review: Solario Solar Phone Charger
I don’t know about you, but I typically get my Christmas shopping done towards the beginning of December. Then I sit around all smug about it like “yep, all done. You all enjoy the crowds and stuff.” Usually around the 15th of the month I wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat with the realization of “OH, CRAP! I FORGOT THE STOCKING STUFFERS!” Fortunately they’re usually small, easy to find items but still. This year, I’ve got a great stocking stuffer idea for you!
If you have a friend or family member that likes to go outdoors a lot…which considering the typical demographic of this blog is a pretty safe bet…there’s always a fear of “what if my cell phone/tablet/gps/e-reader/USB Powered blender battery goes dead?” At least I assume so. I don’t go outdoors much. There’s this big yellow thing that hangs in the sky that scares me to no end. Even then, as a hardcore geek, I am at the mercy of my battery life. The Solario charger fixes that problem! It really combines a handful of items into one awesome package.
First off, it has an internal battery that you can use to charge your device’s battery. In my testing, it took my iPhone from nearly dead to around 94% in about 2 hours. This internal battery can be charged either by plugging it into a USB power outlet (like on your computer or your phone’s charger) or the uber awesome way of just leaving it in the sun for a bit. With good, clear exposure to the sun, it only takes a couple hours to recharge its internal battery.
It comes with a handful of USB cables and adaptors which allows you to charge any USB based device with it. You don’t have to use the cables provided, mind you. All the ports are standard so you can use your own cables with it as well.
The charger also comes with a small carabiner that allows you to hang it off your backpack so it can recharge while on the go. The device is very rugged with rubber bumpers on the sides so it can get knocked around. It’s also weatherproof and the USB ports are sealed so that liquid and grime are kept away.
Finally, it also has a built in LED flashlight which can come in handy in a pinch. At the very least, you can always use it to make a “solar powered flashlight” joke.
All in all, I love this thing and I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re looking for a stocking stuffer or just a gift for the company Christmas party, you can’t go wrong with this.
