The PowerFilm USB+AA is able to charge AA batteries direct from ordinary daylight, plus charge most small USB devices. The stronger the daylight, the faster the charging.

The smallest, lightest AA charger

This small, light solar charger packs more charging power than any of the flimsy, plastic shell solar chargers. This kit provides 1.44 Watts peak output, enough to charge a set of two high-capacity AA 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.

Charging cameras & other lithium batteries

The USB+AA panel is able to charge 3.6V & 3.7V camera batteries when you use a universal USB camera battery charger (click here). Sometimes small cameras will charge via their USB data cables, but you will need to check with the manufacturer. Other batteries (phones, GPS, iPods, etc) can be charged this way too, but it is far more convenient to simply use your USB sync cable for these devices. Simply plug them into the USB port on the panel anytime to charge them up!

How does it work?

The USB+AA solar charger comes with two high-capacity, new generation NiMh AA rechargeable batteries which the panel uses to store power. Open the panel & leave out in the sun during the day. The longer the better. Plug your smart phone, iPod, GPS, or other small USB device into the USB port anytime, day or night, for power. The charging speed will be exactly like plugging into your computer's USB port.

What's included...

The PowerFilm USB+AA panel comes with two premium Sanyo Eneloop batteries. These batteries feature advanced NiMh chamistry & internal structure to provide the best reliability & storage capability of any NiMh rechargeable. Of course the PowerFilm panel will charge any of your NiMh rechargeables.

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.
