Solar Chargers: 5 reasons to bring your own power

Here are 5 reasons to bring along a personal solar charger on your next trip:

1.  Batteries are heavy!  Bringing along extra batteries, and keeping them dry, is just a drag.  With a solar charger like the Solio, you can keep your phone, MP3, camera, PDA or GPS powered up without being weighed down by a bag of batteries.  Sweet!

2.  It’s cheaper than buying batteries.  Yes, back to batteries again.  Last time we checked, solar energy was free to use once you’ve got the right gear.  No more expensive batteries!

3.  It’s one small step to reduce your energy footprint.  How many batteries do you use a year?  Wouldn’t it be nice to not have to dispose of all those used-up garbage batteries?  (Hint: the answer is ‘yes’)

4.  It’s convenient.  Ever been stuck in a remote area and out of juice for our MP3 player or phone?  It’s not easy to find replacement AA’s when you’re heading past Washburn’s thumb.  Your solar charger is ready to use anywhere in the world.

5.  It’s just cool.  It’s very ’space-age’ to have this little gadget that looks like Mork’s pod from Mork & Mindy.  Want to join the 21st Century?  Get your own solar charger!
