via TreeHugger.comVoltaic is offering 3 new bags to electrify (no pun intended) the way batteries are recharged – the Daypack, the uniquely designed Pouch and the Messenger. All 3 come in a standard configuration boasting 3 waterproof solar panels that generate 4 watts of power. Convenient for juicing up the dried batteries of the modern road warrior, these are best used for mobile phones, PDAs, GPS, iPods and even the ubiquitous digicam.
Should rainy days ensue, an AC or car DC charger is available to refill the bags’ lithium-ion battery. With 3 different sizes to suit the occasion, there is no more excuse for running low on juice while on the road. Do take note that it is currently unable to recharge notebooks due to the limited array of solar panels.
Head on to Voltaic Systems for more information. (specs below)
