Brunton Freedom FAQ...
Can I use my iPod, phone, or PDA while connected to the Brunton Freedom?
Yes. The Brunton Freedom acts just like a reserve battery. When it is connected, it will power your device & charge the device battery at the same time. If there is daylight, the Brunton Freedom will use the power from the sun to provide power & charge your device battery at the same time.
Do I need a sunny day to use the Freedom?
No. The Freedom will charge as long as there is daylight, with the rate dependant on the intensity of the light. It will produce the most power in direct, bright sunlight. Even at night, the Brunton Freedom comes in very handy as a back-up battery for your device.
More than just a good idea...
Over its lifetime, Freedom will provide the same amount of power as over 1300 AA batteries! This can save you approx $1500 & stress on the environment.

Brunton Freedom Crib Sheet...
Phones, PDAs, & Smart Phones: Use your phone's USB cable that you would normally use to connect your phone to your computer. If your phone uses a Mini-USB or Micro-USB connector, the Freedom can connect without an additional cable.
iPods & mp3 Players: Connect your iPod or other mp3 player to the Freedom using the Freedom's USB port.
Digital Cameras: Many digital cameras can be powered directly from the Freedom using the Freedom's USB port or Mini-USB adaptor tip. Note that cameras do not 'charge' from USB ports, but many will operate while connected.
NOTE: The Brunton Freedom is not able to drive 12V DC chargers for cameras.
GPS: The Freedom can power most of the latest GPS models via its USB port. Use the USB computer interface cable that came with your GPS.
AA/AAA Battery Charging: We recommend the Mini-USB Charger, or the Impact USB AA Charger. Both of these models will plug into the Freedom's USB port. The Freedom has enough power stored in its on-board storage battery to cover 2 high-capacity AA rechargeables (2700mAHr).
The Freedom's solar panel output is great enough to charge 1 standard AA rechargeable per day (ie fully recharges a depleted on-board storage battery in 4 days).
Other Devices: Anything that can operate from USB or its Mini & Micro cousins will be happy with power from the Freedom.
It is not able to support devices above 5W, and so cannot power laptop computers.
