Uniross launching eco-friendly battery chargers

Tag : Solar Mobile Charger

One day, every gadget will be solar-powered. It makes sense toharness the sun’s rays to power our handheld devices - andcertainly more sense than lugging around seven different chargerswhen we go on holiday. The downside? On the average cloudy Britishsummer holiday, you might end up out of juice.
Anyway, battery firm Uniross has just unveiled a new range ofeco-friendly battery chargers, including a Solar Charger that comeswith a USB adapter to power gadgets. We’re a bit unclearabout just how many mobile phones it’ll work with, however -hopefully you can get some kind of Nokia / Sony Ericsson / iPhoneadapter. The charger costs £39.99, anyway.
Meanwhile, there’s also a 15 Minute Charger, which does whatit says on the tin - it claims to charge any battery in less than15 minutes. Better still, there’s a Wind Charger (pictured),which you can mount on your bike, and then convert passing wind(not that kind) into power, with USB output as well as phone andgame connectors. That one costs £49.99.
The new range goes on sale in August.
