Product Description
Solio, the Universal "Hybrid" Charger is powerful enough to charge all of your handheld electronic products at home or on the move, anywhere under the sun. Solio is a Hybrid because it can accept power from either the wall socket or Sun storing this energy within Solio's internal rechargeable battery. Solio then uses this energy to power your gadgets at the same rate as if they were plugged into the wall. Solio will also hold its charge for up to a year. Solio limits your need to purchase and carry around multiple chargers for all of your gadgets and is your one stop charging solution for all of your products from cell phones and iPods, to digital cameras, game players, and GPS. One hour of sun will give you enough juice to play your iPod for about an hour or provide up to 25 mins of additional talk time on most cell phones. When fully charged Solio can store enough power to charge a typical cell phone or an iPod Nano at least two times. Have you plugged into the Sun lately? Provides emergency power for your mobile gadgets anywhere you go.

5 out of 5 stars Go GREEN, and like it!!!   October 19, 2009
D. Porter
I needed a way to charge my camcorder battery while backpacking in the Grand Canyon. Over 6 miles from an electrical outlet, this worked perfectly. It was also light enough not to weigh me down.


5 out of 5 stars Hike with Tunes   September 9, 2009
Steven W. Briggs (Portland OR)
The charger works great for me. I do alot of hiking alone and with the dog. The I pod nano has become and almost essential part of my long treks and once it's dead it's a real loss. The fact that I can store 2 full charges from a wall charge or solar is great. It recharges the I pod fast and at any time so gets me through just about anything without even worrying about using the solar. Did fully recharge it in the sun in one full day but you have to be vigilant about aiming it directly into the sun. there is a light that shows when it is charging and it dosn't come on untill it is aimed directly at the sun so you kind of need to do it on a lay over day when you can position it well. Simple to use, a good flashing light indicator to show how much charge, several adapters and you can use your own adapter for anything that plugs into a USB port, packs nicely. Highly recomended if you are going to be away from an outlet for long stretches and want your cell phone I pod etc.....


5 out of 5 stars Great for Beach Vacations!   August 31, 2009
D. Delaney
I purchased this charger and have had no problems with it so far. It was able to charge my iPod while on vacation. I don't yet know how well it will work inside or not in full sun, though. My only problem was that the directions it comes with are only IKEA-style pictograms. It could use more actual instructions.


4 out of 5 stars need adaptor for phone   August 12, 2009
Steven B. Friese (Honolulu, HI USA)
Haven't gotten to test this bugger out yet, but wanted to throw this info out there. I didn't see this when I was researching. The classic I bought does not come standard with a iphone compatable charger tip. One can be purchased from the solio website for 9.95. The usb adaptor that it comes with will NOT work. Also, the classic I got comes with a usb charger only. Meaning you can't plug it into the wall to charge it. You can plug it into a computer, and it works fine, but not a wall, so if you are traveling without a computer, be aware, you may need this adapter as well. That's it for now. More later when I get the new adapter.


1 out of 5 stars Contrary to the claims it works with iPhone, it DOES NOT.   July 28, 2009
Dmitry Nikiforov (New York, NY)

The specifications on the device claim it works with iPhone, however that's not true: once you connect an iPhone (3GS, if that matters) to it, iPhone says immediately that the device is not supported for charging. Now I have to return this thing back :(
