Top 4 Facts About Solar Chargers
Any outdoor situation requires some form of readiness. Many of us rely on our gadgets: phones, GPS, cameras or any device that needs electricity in order to work. But what if we're out in the middle of nowhere and all of a sudden our phone loses power or our batteries run out? This is when solar chargers come in.
Whether you're in the police or military field, an outdoorsman or a prepper, a solar charger becomes indispensable when there's no charging outlet around. Solar chargers come in different varieties. The most important thing to remember is that even though scientists and engineers are still developing ways to harness sunlight to power our everyday lives, solar-enabled devices are becoming more effective and useful. Here are some facts about solar chargers:
1. Solar chargers come in different wattage: The higher the watts, the more powerful, and possibly more costly. On the average a 5-10 watt solar charger can power up your phone. If you're hooking up a laptop, a higher wattage is more preferable.
2. Some solar chargers can charge in the sun for 2 hours, others for a whole day. Check the specs so you know how long you intend to be outdoors. Many boaters simply leave their solar chargers out in the sun while their devices are hooked up in the shade.
3. If you're taking a solar charger in your MOLLE vest, try investing on a Tacmor foldable charger.
This device comes with straps that you can attach on your backpack and MOLLE vest, charging while you're out in the field in 1-2.5 hours.
4. Almost all solar chargers nowadays come with a USB port and cord to power a variety of devices. A multi-functional solar charger obviously serves a lot of purpose, like the Rothco solar panel which comes with 6 interchangeable connectors and compatible with most phone brands (Android and iPhones), video and touch players.
A great solar charger is lightweight, fast-charging, durable, multi-functional, and affordable. In a world where everybody relies on electricity, we need to find alternative ways to power up when we're outside. Got a minute? Check out Tacmor.com's top solar chargers and tell us what you think.
