Scosche Introduces Solar Powered Back-Up Battery

Feb 4 2010, 9:43am CST | by Robert Evans

No device is as portable as one that can run on solar power. If you are a world traveler, you need to be able to keep your phone and computer running no matter where you go. Working power outlets will not always be available, but the sun shows up pretty much everywhere. That's why Scosche Industries have just launched a solar-powered back-up battery/charging device.

The solBAT II works with any handheld device that can be charged with a USB cable. It uses a two-light indicator to inform you of when the device is charging and when it is passing stored energy to a device. The solBAT II features a 1500m lithium-ion battery with a 5V output. It has a windshield mount and a carabiner mount, so it will always have the best view of the sun. Fully charged, the solBAT II can charge a "typical" phone up to twice.

The solBAT II costs $29.99 and is available now.
