Use the free energy of the sun to power virtually any portable electrical device - including digital cameras, mobile phones and portable DVD players - with the Freeloader Pro handheld solar charger. The Freeloader Pro sets a new standard for mobile solar charging, and is designed to power high drain gadgets such as digital camcorders, mp4 video players, smartphones, and portable DVD players.

Lightweight and Robust

Lightweight - weighing little more than a mobile phone, and robust - built from hardwearing aerospace aluminium, the Freeloader Pro can be used to solar charge your iPhone, Nintendo DS Lite, or Sony PSP. The Pro's 200mA premium quality crystalline micro solar cells provide high performance solar charging in low light or poor weather conditions. Crystalline solar cells are more efficient than other thin film solar panels, especially in low light. This makes the Freeloader Pro ideal for use in cloudy regions such as the UK.

Fully Charged in 8 Hours

Built into the Freeloader Pro is a high power 1600mAh Li-on rechargeable battery. The battery will fully charge in sunlight in as little as 8 hours, or will fully charge in just 3 hours if connected to a computer USB port using the included USB cable. To use the Pro's power, you simply connect it up to your chosen device. It will power a mobile phone for up to 70 hours, an iPod for up to 28 hours, or a portable DVD player for 3-4 hours. The Pro's colour change Power Halo display shows how full the battery is when charging (red) or when connected to a device (blue). A multi-voltage switch ensures the safe transfer of power at up to 9.5V.

CamCaddy: Charge your Digital Camera Anywhere

Photographers get an extra special treat with the Pro - the CamCaddy solar powered camera battery charger. Instead of connecting up the Pro to your camera, you put the battery from your digital camera into the CamCaddy to charge. A fully charged Pro will give a compact digital camera battery a 100% charge, whilst digital camcorder and SLR batteries will charge to 80%-90% of full capacity. The CamCaddy is adjustable to fit almost every type of digital camera battery.
