If you would like to have free power for your laptop from anywhere, take a look at the new Solar Gorilla from Power Traveller. This device is compatible with most notebooks, iPads, iPods, iPhones, PDAs, MP3/MP4 players, handheld gaming consoles, and many standard cell phones. The great thing is it’s capable of powering a laptop and a mobile; simultaneously charging your gadgets in real time. This portable charger folds up and is engineered to protect the solar panels when stored away. It has a standard 20V power socket out and standard 5v USB socket and SolarGorilla’s 24 volt and 5 volt USB socket make it the ultimate renewable power station for most small handheld electronic portable devices. It also comes with a neoprene zip case and an additional compartment for extra tips.
It comes complete with fifteen connectors. A pack of eight male notebook connectors and nine “monkey nuts” connector tips for cell phones. They are clearly labeled on the pack. The connector tips for cell phones include the Nokia and Mini Nokia, the Motorola V66, the Samsung E900, the LG Chocolate, and the SonyEricsson wide connectors. There is also a mini USB for if you have Motorola Razr V Series, BlackBerry, or bluetooth headset. Also featured is female USB charging tip for smart phones, PDAs, and other USB powered devices. A micro USB for the latest Motorola and Nokia series phones is also available. The cables include a two meter USB extension cable, two meter Powergorilla laptop charging cable and a 12V car charger socket.
Solar gorilla works with two photovoltaic solar panels that generate electricity when they are exposed to light. The two solar panels that generate the electric current are made of glass to greatly improve the performance plus it adds to the aesthetics of the unit. There is a green LED on the Solargorilla that indicates the strength of the current charge. The charge will be more intense when there is more light; it will work better. The solar panels are technically advanced to ensure high quality power and maintain dependable performance. The unit is also housed in a tough rubberized outer casing.
Bad news and great news if you are a Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, or Macbook user. Bad news-one item that we found was not included from the manufacture, unfortunately, is the Apple MagSafe Airline Adaptor, this purchased separately costs around $60. Great news-we did find a dealer that is adding the Magsafe Airline Adaptor in for FREE/at no extra charge to increase compatibility for an easy connection for Macs! We included the link below.
