I did a bit of research online before buying a solar charger and I am happy that I got a PowerMonkey. I used it while camping and it worked brilliantly. The different adaptor/connections all worked. The only disappointment was not having an adaptor for my Nintendo DS (which was listed as included – but wasn’t). However this wasnt a big issue as the device itself worked really well. I would recommend it. It seems crazy to not have one – FREE power from the sun!!!

the power monkey is awesome, very rugged and strong(I use my one under 150m of pressure in a diving chamber!). can be a little slow to charge up but if you can keep it charged itl keep all your toys working!
my only grumble is that some of the adapters arnt the best quality, namely the ipod charger. cant fault the actual unit itself though!
I know what most of my friends are getting for christmas this year!

Takes a long while to charge using solar only, faster otherwise, but then holds its large charge well thereafter.

I bought a Free Loader solar power charger a few years ago then bought a PowerMonkey as a christmas present for my son. I was so impressed with the PowerMonkey I bought one myself. The build quality is excellent (far better than the Free Loader)and the choice of adaptors is extensive. I recently took it on holiday to Turkey and used it to recharge my ipod and PDA. The easiest way of charging the PowerMonkey is via the mains adaptor (again worldwide mains adaptors included)however it can be topped up using the solar panels which plug into the PowerMonkey although to fully charge the unit by this method would take considerable time. Having said that the solar panels can be attached to a rucksac or outer clothing whilst walking and would recharge the PowerMonkey sufficiently to power a dead GPS or mobile phone to enable you to get out of a sticky situation. All in all I’m very pleased with the device.
