With all the solar chargers hitting the market, the powermonkey eXplorer is a very full-featured charger gadget that easily beats the competition when it comes to features. Essentially the charger will charge up every phone, games console, MP3 player, etc that you throw at it. The edge is that it has an LCD display giving you the charging status, and it also acts as a travel charger.
If you’re out and about in remote areas, then you can just use the solar panel part of the charger as you’d expect. However, if you’re just in another country (but not in a remote region), the charger features a special power transformer to suit virtually any mains input voltage. So if you’re in the UK or US, you can still charge up your gadgets with just the one power adaptor. This feature alone makes the powermonkey eXplorer perfect for any type of travelling.
The powermonkey eXplorer charger is available in grey, blue or pink. However, with all the extra features, it is a little more expensive at £59.99.
