GreenTech: Supercharger solar panel keeps your gadgets supercharged
UK solar power company Solar Technology has released an update to its Freeloader line of portable solar charging stations. The new SuperCharger sports a larger solar panel than the original model. In practical terms, that means you can fully charger the Freeloader's portable battery in about 4 hours using nothing but the sun's rays. You power an iPod for about 18 hours, or a typical cellphone for 44 hours off a single charge.The SuperCharger is also weather-proofed, which means you can charge your device under any conditions. You know, as long as there's some sunlight. The SuperCharger will set you back £20 or about $40, but you'll need a Freeloader to make use of it. You can also get a "Globe Trotter" bundle with a Freeloader, SuperCharger, and carrying case for £50 or about $100.
