Let the Sun Power Your iPod

How can you take your iPod on a camping trip where there is no electricity to recharge the battery?

The same sun that gives you that golden tan can recharge your battery! The solar-powered iPod charger from iPodjuice is easy to tuck in your knapsack and weighs next to nothing.

When you open the case of the solar-powered battery charger, you’ll see that it has a whole array of solar cells on both halves. Let those babies soak up the sun for a few hours. As they do, they will convert the sun’s rays to electricity stored in the charger’s 1200 mAh battery. And that battery will recharge your iPod!

You don’t have to be camping to use the solar-powered charger. Once you have it, you’ll find dozens of occasions on which to use it. Even if you can’t install huge solar panels in your house, you can still be “off the grid” when you power your iPod. Al Gore will be proud of you.

You can re-charge your iPhone with it, too. It will recharge all iPod nanos, and iPod classic, iPod Photo, iPod touch and iPod mini batteries, as well as the 3rd and 4th Generation iPod and the 5th Generation iPodVideo.

The solar-powered charger from iPodjuice will not work on the old Generation 1 and Generation 2 iPods.

The 1200 mAh battery in the charger will last longest if you keep it charged at about forty percent and then store it in the refrigerator (not the freezer). You can bring it up to full charge using solar power, or use the built-in DC adaptor.

The solar-powered battery charger is a great addition to your other chargers, also available from iPodjuice, whether they get their power from your wall socket, your car or your PC.
