Best Solar Panels for iPhone and iPod
Posted by admin on Sep 4, 2009
How to never run out of power regardless where you are with the best solar panels for iPod touch 2nd generation or iPhone 2G, 3G and 3G S?
Great! Whether you are on the beach, traveling, fishing or camping, whether you are walking, running, hiking, biking or sailing: as long as it is sunny you now can power up your iPod touch or iPhone with Novothink’s eco friendly surge hybrid solar charger case.
As it is a lightweight, durable and harness free case and a clean power charger all in one you have your iPod or iPhone charged with best solar panels and protected while having full access to the touch screen.
The solar panels are being described by Novothink as “state-of-the-art”. Best solar panels with an output of 5.5 volts at 100 mAh (milliampere-hours) in full sun. 2 hours of direct solar exposure provides about 30 minutes of talk time on a 3G network or 60 minutes of talk time on a 2G network.
Further information on the particular built in solar panels are not available at the time and may remain a company secret even in the future. To me it looks like a new generation of thin-film solar panel. In fact, Novothink states thtat it “takes pride and dedication to making the best solar products in the market.”
Surge’s best solar panels charge a rechargeable 1500 mAh 3.7 V lithium-ion polymer battery. It’s technology prevents overcharging and provides protection from extreme temperatures, which makes it perfect for outdoor use. And you do not have to watch any charging durations, because it is a “smart solar charging device”. So the best solar panels charge the battery only if necessary. The accumulator more than doubles the battery life of iPhone 3G / iPod touch and offers 120% capacity of iPhone 3G and iPod touch.
Novothink’s Surge Solar Charger is the only Apple licensed solar charger case and both, iPod version and iPhone version, have built-in Apple certified 30 pin connectors.The Surge Charger Case has a 4 LED battery status indicator and keeps you informed about the actual power status. Both versions come with an USB 2.0 cable for high capacity charging and data exchange. With this, you do not need to remove your iPod / iPhone from the case to synchronize with iTunes or to power up.
Novothink Inc. is a California based company from San Leandro, CA. That’s what they state in the About-us-section of their website:
“Founded by both technology industry veterans and environmental enthusiasts, NOVOTHINK began with a clean and simple vision to bring solar technology together with portable electronic devices. Through our efforts, we are focused on promoting solar energy awareness while offering the latest solar technology for today’s most in-demand consumer products. We strongly believe that we are all responsible for nurturing, protecting, and respecting our planet and its natural resources, and that through our efforts we are making a difference and improving lives today and for those of future generations.“
I like that very much. Thumbs up for the best solar panels manufacturer to charge Apple’s mobile devices. For further information check out Novothink’s website
P.S.: The iPod version of the Surge Charger Case is offered in 4 different colours, the iPhone version in 8 different colours. Surge will be priced at circa $70 and it will be available soon.
