A fantastic little charger that offers far more power & functionality than other compact solar chargers. Don't be fooled by its size. With four times the power and twice the battery storage of most solar chargers in the market, you'll have power when you need it. The most compact solar sport case in the Voltaic line, but with all the quality & functionality you expect from Voltaic.

The Amp Solar Charger is one of Voltaic's new standalone chargers. What's new & exciting is that it has about the 4 times as much solar power and twice the battery power as other solar chargers on the market. Who has 12 hours to charge their phone? What if you have any other devices?
The Amp is the answer.
Plus, the Amp and all our other new 4 Watt bags switch between 6 and 12 Volts which lets you charge your DSLR camera battery (via a direct connection to a DC charger base).
