The solarmonkey & solarnut can be connected directly to your phone, iPod (it's in the Made for iPod™ program), PDA, PSP and more, enabling you to recharge without the need for batteries or a mains power supply! The solarmonkey works via two solar panels which generate an electric current when exposed directly to sunlight, which in turn charges your device. (Please Note: The solarmonkey panel does NOT hold a charge.)

Specially designed to work with the solarmonkey, the included solarnut reserves redundant solar energy so that if a sunny day turns cloudy whilst you're using your solarmonkey, charging of your device is not affected.  It will regulate the supply of power to your device, meaning yet another stress-free charge courtesy of Powertraveller!

solarnut can also be used as a stand alone portable emergency charger, providing you with up to a quarter of standard mobile phone power or at least 15 minutes of talktime.  To make the most of your solarnut, recharge it (via solarmonkey only) at least once every 2-3 months!

The solarmonkey solar charger now comes complete with a velcro strap, enabling you to attach it to a rucksack - perfect for keeping your gadgets charged whilst you're trekking up a mountain!!

solarmonkey performs best when outside in direct sunlight, ensure the panels are in full sunlight and soak up those rays!  If you have one of the larger smartphones (i.e. iPhone 4/3GS, HTC, etc), we recommend that you purchase the powermonkey-eXplorer as the solarmonkey inc.solarnut is not suitable.
