Solar charge mobile gadgets including the Apple iPad with the new FreeLoader Classic
Gloucestershire, UK. 2nd March 2011. The new FreeLoader Classic from Solar Technology International is a solar charger with new super powerful solar panels collecting 25% more power and the ability to provide charge for the Apple iPad.
The FreeLoader Classic is capable of powering the world’s most popular mobile devices. It can deliver power to an iPod / iPhone for 18 hours, a smart phone for 44 hours, a PSP or DS for 2.5 hours and an iPad for 2 hours. Ready for action direct from the box, 9 connector tips are supplied as standard including the new ‘standard’ micro USB, and a USB socket provides a direct input for the standard USB cable supplied with many gadgets, such as the white cable supplied with all Apple devices.
The new FreeLoader Classic is small and light, will easily slip into a pocket or backpack, and is housed in a hard-wearing and stylish silver aluminium skin. When the sun hasn’t got its hat on, the FreeLoader Classic can be charged via USB in just 3 hours.
The FreeLoader Classic also features a built-in LCD data panel which provides useful information about battery level, power input and connectivity. The data gives a clear and concise overview of the FreeLoader Classic’s status at all times, so there are no idle times and users can be more intuitive with the charging process to ensure that there is always charge stored up for a rainy day.
The Freeloader Classic has a number of accessories, notably for hard-core requirements, the Supercharger, which is designed to freeload more of the sun’s power and consequently powers up the FreeLoader Classic in super quick time. The Supercharger is tough, weather resistant and can be fitted to the outside of a rucksack or on bike panniers. The Supercharger can be purchased individually or can be bought bundled with the FreeLoader Classic as the Globe Trotter package.
The Freeloader Classic is available now from www.solartechnology.co.uk and various retailers (such as Firebox) for £39.99 inc. VAT. You can follow Solar Technology on Twitter @SolarTechInt
