PowerFilm Folding Solar AA Battery Charger
The light, compact, powerful solar battery charger

by PowerFilm (AA Charger)

GPS & digital camera users rejoice!
PowerFilm has taken their lightweight, folding, flexible solar module technology, and created a powerful little solar charger that will charge up to 4 'AA' cells faster than most devices will run them down.

The smallest, lightest AA charger

This small, light solar charger packs more charging power than any of the flimsy plastic chargers you might find on sale for $30. This kit provides 1.44 Watts peak output, enough to charge a set of two high-capacity batteries in one day. Compare this to the less than 0.5 Watt output of the small AA/AAA solar chargers which would take up to 3 days to charge the same high capacity batteries.

NOTE:
If you see a small solar charger specifying that it charges batteries in 4 hours, they are talking low-capacity batteries, with 4 peak-sun hours of daylight (basically all day in the summer).

PowerFilm solar modules are MADE IN THE USA, and are particularly good in partial shade & low-light conditions. Ideal for applications where you may not be able to have the panel exposed directly to sunlight all the time (ie strapped to your pack).

Take one on your next camping or hiking trip to keep your camera or GPS batteries charged.
