Whether you’re on your boat, hanging out on the beach or hiking the coast, it’s hard to find a place to charge up your gear. Now you won’t have to worry any more because there’s a new gadget from the pioneers of portable solar power – The Restore™ Portable Power Device from Brunton. It’s the most efficient and compact integrated solar charger available. A whopping 90% power capture means charging portable devices like iPods, smartphones or digital cameras is fast and easy with this power-packed hybrid solar charger.
Restore™ is water resistant and includes both mini- and micro-USB adapters to charge/run portable electronics. It houses an eco-friendly lithium battery in its rugged rubberized shell and weighs only 7.2 oz.
With the Brunton Restore™ and ample sunlight, you can restore your devices to full power. If it’s fully charged, it’ll reload your iPod or regular cell phone two or three times. It will fully charge a smart phone or gaming device one or two times. It has enough juice to recharge four AA batteries and can recharge your Bluetooth headset seven to eight times. For an iPod, one hour of sun equals six or seven hours of music—that is far superior to what most other competitors promise. The unit charges from the solar panels, computer USB or from the included DC adapter.
The Restore™ retails for around $90, but the packaging says it’ll give you the output equivalent of 1,372 AA batteries. That’s a big savings over the lifetime of the unit as you can use this charger 500 times before the internal battery will wear out. Way to be kind to the planet!
You can find the Restore™ Portable Power Device at REI.
