Solar Chargers - News and Trends

Have you also been on holiday without juice? As for just the fruit, it's not a problem, but when it comes to the synonym of energy for your appliance, it's unpleasant. Imagine running out of battery power in your mobile, navigation, camera or tablet. It may not be such a horror within the reach of civilization (although android addicts will argue otherwise), but if you are in the mountains, jungle, desert, or Grand Canyon, your life may depend on it. To prevent this, you try to bring spare batteries, powerbanks, but this is help only for a short time. Solar chargers will give you real energy security on your trek, expedition or other outdoor event. One of the most powerful is offered by a renowned manufacturer Goal Zero. The basis of each such system is solar panel. These monocrystalline solar panels are compact, very light and weather resistant. Unlike cheap panels with low power, they are able to supply power directly from the sun for most USB and 12V devices (smartphones, cameras, GPS, etc.). You simply attach the panel to a backpack, tent, or other convenient place, and you can easily charge your device with the supplied adapters. However, if you want to have your energy packed for travel, you can also connect one of the external batteries to the solar panel - the Goal Zero powerbank. For example, the SHERPA 100 can charge laptops, tablets, SLRs and other devices and has a capacity of 98Wh (11V, 8800mAh). It has 5V outputs from which you can "tune in" to a mobile phone using the Micro USB connector. But even more interesting, this battery also has 12V outputs and a 19V laptop port to power your laptop. Another connectable device is, for example, the Venture 30 power bank, which excels in its robust body and capacity. In addition to the standard outputs, it is complemented by a handy LED flashlight. It is also worth mentioning that it is waterproof, rubberized and can withstand rough handling. The intelligent charging system allows you to charge external devices even faster than from the mains. The Powerbank communicates with the connected device and finds out the necessary data on the basis of which it then adjusts the charging parameters. To make matters worse, you can chain panels and other devices to create a really powerful system. Goal Zero offers many timeless gadgets as accessories. These are, for example, LED camping lamps, USB flashlights and lanterns. All of course fully compatible with powerbanks and Goal Zero solar panels.
