Portable Solar Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 If you are riding a multi stage race with a GPS (Garmins), cell phone, PDA, iPod etc and look for a solution that makes sense to re-charge the batteries, consider the SolarPouch from Flexopower. It is a powerful, light weight solution that works. The solar cells are glass free, flexible and 3x more shadow tolerant. The unit weighs 125g and is easily attached to the camel bag. Compatible to most Garmin fitness GPS, most mobile phones, PDA's. No more worrying about empty batteries during a multi stage event. Check it out at www.flexopower.com or call 011 465 0022.
TNT1 Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Solar Huh? Does it still charge in the rain? Sani is gonna be wet...
AndreZA Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 can you attach it to you helmet and have a little freezer running in your hydration pack.
gianni Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 how long is this event 1 month ? why don't you just pre-charge the phone ??
AndreZA Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 how long is this event 1 month ?why don't you just pre-charge the phone ?? how dare you use common sense here. You are banned from the Hub. Go away and think about what you've done.
gianni Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I apologise....I was not thinking.... I will now go and lock myself away form human contact and meditate on my stupidity. hmmm wonder how much one of those chargers cost,....will probably need it to charge my phone while I'm away.
wackwack Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I wonder if it will keep my laptop charged - so i can 'Hub' while waiting for my partner!!!
wackwack Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 or i could use it at my tent to watch the rugga's on my Bravia
Wazza Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I wonder if it will keep my laptop charged - so i can 'Hub' while waiting for my partner!!! Dude...you're not allowed more than 2 minutes ahead of me. So when you get to the top of the hill, go back down and help your partner push his up. Partner.
Wazza Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Solar Huh? Does it still charge in the rain? Sani is gonna be wet... Not according to weatherSA. http://dev2.weathersa.co.za/Weather.asp?Dte=Today&Vw=Over&Zoom=Regn&Ref=54&Ad=2&Skin=Default&ProdType=1&Menu=1&VI=True&M=0&Ad=3&ProdType=5&fpgid=7day68575 They predict 0% rain and max 34degrees for day 2!
linnega Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 how long is this event 1 month ?why don't you just pre-charge the phone ?? Decent phone batteries on a Windows Mobile will only last a day or so some will need to bring extra batteries.
Thug Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 My Samsung i780 has 2 batteries, so that should last. My Garmin 705 should last 15 - 18 hours and I plan on being quicker than that.
splat Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 For the price of one of these chargers, you could buy several batteries...

Garmin should be fine, but might die at the end of day 3. By the time you see the sea there is still an hour to go and you won't give a crap about what a stupid little GPS thingymajiggy is saying.

Decent phone batteries on a Windows Mobile will only last a day or so some will need to bring extra batteries. a decent phone with ME is an oxymoron. That's exactly the reason they last one day.....ME! I have a REAL phone (Nokie E71) with a PROPER OS and it lasts a week and I use wifi etc etc extensively on it
