FreeLoader Solar Charger for Cell Phones and MP3 Players

by Shane McGlaun

We have all been out and about and had our cell phones run out of power. This is an especially big problem with the increased usage smartphone and music phones tend to see. A company in the UK called Solar Technology has introduced a new device called the FreeLoader 8.0 Portable Solar Charger.

The device comes with 11 different adapters for powering and recharging different cell phones and MP3 players. Support handsets include anything that charges via USB or mini USB, LG chocolate and shine series, Nokia with 3.5mm jack, Nokia with 2mm jack, Samsung A288, D800 and compatible phones, Sony Ericsson K750 and compatible phones. The device is also specifically compatible with the iPhone and iPod touch.

The device has solar panels sensitive enough to power the mobile phone and charge the FreeLoader's internal battery at the same time. Color options include hot pink and cool aluminum silver. The device is available in the UK for £29.99. No word on availability in the US at this time.
