The SolarUno Slim differs slightly from products like 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 Slim is the smallest, lightest solar charger we carry, & features extra secure battery compartment with USB port on/off switch.

How does it work?...

Simple. The SolarUno Slim 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 Slim uses the solar power stored in its two NiMh rechargeable batteries to provide additional power to your devices. A handy back-up power solution - even when the sun isn't shining.

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.

FAQ...

Can I use the SolarUno while it is charging?

Yes. The SolarUno will use both solar & battery to power your USB devices. If the solar panel provides enough power, the excess is used to charge the batteries. If the solar panel cannot keep up, the batteries will make up the shortage.

Can I use the SolarUno at night?

Yes. The power captured by the solar panel is stored in NiMh batteries for use anytime day or night.

Can I recharge/power any USB device?

Yes. So far we have tested the Uno with a wide range of USB devices, and they all worked normally. Cameras, battery chargers, iPods, mp3 players, & more.
WORKS WITH NEWEST iPODS... the recent update to iPods only affects iPod cables, chargers, & docks. USB chargers like the Solar Uno are not affected, and work with any iPod.

What batteries does the Uno use?

The Uno uses two 'AAA' NiMh rechargeable batteries. While it will work with NiCd rechargeables, we always recommend the far more eco-friendly NiMh type. DO NOT use alkaline batteries with the Uno.

Do I have to use the AAA batteries?

Yes. The Uno relies on having the battery reserve to both store the solar power, and to boost the output of the USB to standard levels regardless of what the sun is doing.

You will also want the batteries to store the sun's power when you aren't charging anything... saves the power for later use.
