Solar cell phone charger
Encyclopedia
Solar cell phone chargers use solar panels to charge cell phone batteries. They are an alternative to conventional electrical cell phone chargers and in some cases can be plugged into an electrical outlet.
Some models of cell phones have a built in solar charger and are commercially available for GSM cellphone models.
Solar cell phone chargers come in different shapes and configurations including folding and rotating types.
They also come in the form of straps, with solar cells on the outer surface and a nickel metal hydride battery within. They are capable to charge a mobile device fully within six hours of exposure to the Sun resulting in 40 minutes of talk time.
Solar chargers are also available for other cell phone accessories, such as bluetooth headsets and speaker phones.
