Power Monkey Extreme Solar Charger [Portable Power]

> 1 / 9

The problem with most solar chargers is that they don't take in enough power from the sun to be really effective when you need them. Or, if they are, they're heavy or cumbersome. Not so with the Power Monkey. This charging system is only 16 ounces and can charge even when it's not super sunny outside. Attach it to the outside of your bag or briefcase while you're out to charge it up. Once full, the Power Monkey can charge smartphones, tablets and other mobile multiple times over. It comes with an impressive array of power tips for many major manufacturers (not just Apple). $189 @ EcoGeekLiving
