The Rapid Solar iPhone Charger

This patented, portable solar powered charger recharges an iPhone up to 6X faster than typical models. In tests performed by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute, the device recharged an iPhone battery from zero to full capacity 2.8 times before requiring a recharge itself, unlike other devices that could not fully recharge an iPhone once. The unit did not sustain any damage when submerged under water for one hour or when dropped repeatedly from 5', thanks to its durable construction of polycarbonate and automotive-grade urethane. The solar powered charger has a built-in, adjustable stand that allows the integrated solar panel to be repositioned for optimal sunlight collection and comes with four adapters for powering virtually any smartphone, e-reader, camera, or an iPad. Recharges in 12 hours of full sunlight (though the patented circuitry will charge in low light or overcast conditions) or in 7-8 hours via built-in USB port. The fully charged battery takes 20 months to discharge. 8 1/2" L x 5 3/4" W x 1" D. (1 1/2 lbs.)
