Treo Solio Solar Charger

Product Description

Never be left without power again, plug into the sun

Now the energy of the sun can be captured and placed right in a purse, pocket and backpack - thanks to the award winning Solio Solar Charger for Treo!

The compact Solio features a fan-blade design that allows it to achieve maximum solar area when in use. Just spread out the blades, expose them to direct sunlight either outdoors or affixed to a window, and get ready to take your power on the road. An internal battery stores the power for whenever you need it, day and night. Charging Solio’s battery takes 8-10 hours of direct sunlight, and a fully charged Solio provides up to 14 hours of additional standby time for your Treo.

Solio' battery can store energy for more than one year, and the intelligent internal circuitry lets you charge your Treo in about the same time as standard wall and car chargers. The Solio is the perfect solution to charge your phone where electricity is not available such as camping, hiking and boating.Solio harnesses and stores free and clean solar energy from day one. The Solio Charger has been designed with a focus on design, sustainability and it couldn't be easier to use.

Note: For the iPhone 3G, 3GS and iTouch 2G you will need their dedicated adaptor.

TreoCentral Expert Review

Review: Solio Charger
Reviewed by James Hromadka
The Solio Charger is not for everybody, especially if you live in an area that doesn't get a lot of sunshine. It can be handy for long trips in the outdoors when you have multiple devices that you want to charge. Since it charges the Treo using sunlight, there's no electric bill to pay or batteries to use, so its high cost can be reclaimed over time.

Pros:  well designed, super functioning
Cons:  -

great product. I just returned from trip abroad and it was awsome not to have to carry multiple adapters with me. but now that i am back i am finding it equally useful for my daily commute and the power requirements of my iPod and mobile phone.

thank you Better Energy Systems for designing such a great product!
