Solar Uno Color
Solar charger for digital audio & USB devices
By SolarFocus (SolarUno Color)
The SolarUno Color is a new solar power solution for small portable electronics. Lightweight, durable, water-resistant construction. Charge your USB devices day or night!
The SolarUno Color differs slightly from the Solio in its approach to charging your iPod, Pocket PC, PDA, Razr, or Blackberry directly from ordinary daylight. Rather than having a built-in Li-Ion battery pack to make up for low daylight or charging at night, the SolarUno lets you charge & draw power from two NiMh rechargeable AAA batteries that snap into the back of the SolarUno.
The Solar Uno Color is the only Uno model to feature a closed battery compartment, providing additional water resistance. The Solar Uno Color also features a silicone skin that protects the unit from bumps & drops.
How does it work?...
Simple. The SolarUno provides solar electric power to a standard USB port to which you can plug any small electronics. Charge any device that can charge from your computer's USB port. This includes iPods, PDAs, Blackberrys, Razrs, and more. This is a regulated 5V USB port, and is safe regardless of the sunlight intensity.
Plug in your USB device and flip the switch. Even in partial sun, the SolarUno is able to charge, extending your battery life or even operating your device direct from the sun's energy. When the sun goes down, the Solar Uno uses the solar power stored in its two NiMh rechargeable batteries to provide additional power to your devices.
Who's buying?...
The SolarUno has found popularity with people who enjoy their digital audio player outdoors, or want to keep their PDA phone & palm PCs charged wherever they go. Attach it to your pack, golf bag, or bike for power on the go. You will find it hard to run down your battery during summer daylight hours when you have the Solar Uno.
More than just a good idea...
Stop killing your Li-Ion iPod, Blackberry or Razr battery by letting them run-down for too long between chargings. The SolarUno gives you the power you need when away from your home & PC.
