It’s not always easy to find a power outlet when you need one especially when you’re hanging out with nature. And since most of us simply can’t live without our Blackberries and iPods when we commune with the local flora and fauna we need something that will make sure we have enough juice when it matters most. The Maplin Solar-Powered Travel Bag is just the thing for keeping your electronics charged when you’re on the go and it doesn’t look like something you’d be ashamed to carry either.
The Maplin Solar-Powered Travel Bag has an integrated solar panel with plenty of protection to make sure you don’t fry your gadgets. It sports overcharge, discharge and short circuit protection so I’m pretty sure all your bases are covered. The travel bag will charge your typical cell phone in less than five hours. It will also pull charging duty for things like MP3 players and portable gaming consoles.
The Maplin Solar-Powered Travel Bag comes with a USB adaptor as well as three mobile phone adaptors (for Nokia phones, Samsung and Sony-Ericsson models). The 1.35W 245mA premium quality crystalline solar cells seem like they would do the job quite nicely and with a price of only 14.99GBP (about $25) you really can’t go wrong. You can get more information on the Maplin Solar-Powered Travel Bag at www.maplin.com.

I bought one of these last week and it doesn’t charge my Touch Pro….it drains it! I emailed technical support and they said it was probably faulty so I exchanged it for another one….which does the same.
It will successfully charge my wifes old nokia phone (by the way it doesn’t come with a charging tip for a modern nokia, only the older larger tip!) but it obviously doesn’t have enough output to charge my phone.
Trying to decide whether to take it back or just keep it to use as a bag (with a light on the outside that flashes all the time).
