Portable Solar Charger Battery the Solio Classic-i
2 Jan
Our Christmas celebrations were very much green themed this year and I received numerous green gifts! One of my favorites is the Solio Classic-i solar charger battery which my wife bought me.
My Solio Classic-i Solar Charger Battery
The Solio Classic-i has an internal Lithium Ion 1650 mAh battery which can hold a charge for up to 1 year. It has three solar panels which fold out into a three blade design.

I’m always conscious of how much packaging comes with a green gadget and the Solio gets eco points for using minimal packaging with a “PaperFoam” molded packaging inside which is made entirely from recycled paper instead of Styrofoam.

The Solio solar charger can be recharged by simply expanding the three solar panels and placing it in direct sunlight. A simple pencil can be used to prop the charger up and face it towards the a light source;

The Solio Classic-i has a charging cord which uses various adapters, I bought one which connects the Solio to my iPod and iPhone so that I can keep them charged up using renewable energy. I plan to charge my iPod and iPhone all year using the Solio.
