'Versatile' Solar charger
« on: 20 March, 2012, 08:10:14 am »
Anyone have any views on the http://www.dealcloud.co.uk/National/-1499-for-a-solar-phone-and-handheld-electronics-charger-worth-8599-/151914?a=1&subscribed=yes

It's a solar phone charger for £14.99, heavily reduced.

The pack shot makes it look a bit cheap.

I have no real need for one at the moment but if it's any good at that price it would be silly not to!

It's rubbish.

The charge time for a smartphone from that thing would be 3 hours, not 60minutes.

It takes 4 hours to charge *from mains*

It would take 7-8hours of daylight to recharge itself, in ideal conditions.
