More info

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).
