Get a Tan and Power Your Gadgets at the Same Time

The sun is one of the most popular alternative energy sources today. Many companies are developing new gadgets that utilize solar energy. For Solar Technology this is not a current trend. They have focused their entire company on creating a number of solar friendly devices. Their latest product is the “Globe Trotter.” This is actually a combination of two earlier products – their award winning Freeloader 8.0 and the Supercharger. Solar Technology includes a velcro sleeve holder for the Freeloader. The bundled “Globe Trotter” costs £49.99.

The Freeloader 8.0 is the central gadget for Solar Technologies “Globe Trotter.” It is a solar powered charger with multiple connectors allowing it to power any hand-held device. The Freeloader can be charge either via its solar panels or a USB connection with a computer. The solar panel will fully charge the Freeloader in 5 hours. The USB connection charges the Freeloader in 3 hours. The battery can hold its charge for 3 months. Solar Technology designed this gadget to be rugged. Its aluminum body is both rust and impact resistant.

The Freeloader 8.0 can power a mobile phone for 44 hours, an iPod for 18 hours, a PDA for 22 hours and a PSP for 2.5 hours. The Freeloader’s battery huge storage capacity makes it easier to keep your devices constantly powered. The Play Station Portable is the only fast draining device. If you are taking the PSP on a long trip it would be best to get one of the alternative battery options for it and then connect that option to the Freeloader 8.0.

Solar Technologies’ Supercharger is a natural companion for the Freeloader. It is a 1.5 watt solar cell. It can charge a Freeloader’s battery in 4 hours instead of 5.

With the purchase a couple of spare batteries for the Freeloader, the Supercharger can rapidly charge them as well. Solar Technologies “Globe Trotter” is the ultimate solar powered traveling solution.
