Solar cell phone charger
Solar cell phone chargers use solar panels to charge cell phone batteries. They are an alternative to conventional electrical cell phone chargers[1] and in some cases can be plugged into an electrical outlet.[2]
Some models of cell phones have a built in solar charger[3] and are commercially available for GSM cellphone models.[4]
Solar cell phone chargers come in different shapes and configurations including folding and rotating types.[5]
They also come in the form of straps, with solar cells on the outer surface and a nickel metal hydride battery within. They are capable to charge a mobile device fully within six hours of exposure to the Sun resulting in 40 minutes of talk time.[6]
Solar chargers are also available for other cell phone accessories, such as bluetooth headsets and speaker phones.[3]
