Product Description

Can't bear to live without your favorite tunes while on the trail or at the campsite? Turn to the Solaris i6 iPod solar charger, which keeps your iPod fully juiced using the power of the great outdoors. The i6 bundle is outfitted with a 6-watt CIGS solar panel, along with a direct-connect iPod power cable, a vehicle outlet cable, a multi-linking cable, and a battery clamp cable. The end result is a package that includes everything you need to charge up and stay in tune everywhere you go. The vehicle outlet cable plugs into your car's 12-volt cigarette lighter for listening to your iPod behind the wheel, while the multi-linking cable also lets you charge digital cameras, MP3 players, PDAs, cell phones, and more. You can even increase the power output by linking compatible solar panels to the i6 panel. Also equipped with a handy storage sack, the i6 bundle measures 29 by 9 inches, weighs 7.1 ounces, and is backed by a one-year warranty.

Charge iPhone with sunshine

Review Date: August 1, 2008

Reviewer: Paul, Idaho USA

I use this to charge my iPhone. It works. It won't charge the battery while the phone is on but it seems maintain the level. I don't see this as an issue because I use this where there is no cell service, and no power - I'm just using the phone as an iPod at this point. The sun is bright where I am in the west. Mine came without the storage sack and I emailed Brunton. They got back to me quickly and mailed me one. I give it four stars as the instruction book doesn't mention it working with an iPhone I just had to take a chance.

It does come with an array of cables: cigarette lighter socket, battery clamps, and various barrel connectors for charging other stuff. I haven't tried any of that at this point.

Also note that charging electronics in the hot sun is always tricky. One needs to shade or protect the device somehow so it doesn't get overheated while keeping the panel in the bright sunlight.
