(MENAFNEditorial) (EMAILWIRE.COM, June 10, 2014 ) Modesto, California -- The evolution of the Cell phone charger has taken a giant leap forward. Where once the humble cell phone travel charger was little more than a wire connecting your portable phone to a wall socket, modern power bank cell phone chargers are souped-up battery packs that can hold enough power for days at a time.
While carrying enough juice for a whole weekend in your hip pocket is handy, the newest cell phone chargers generate power for your portable devices from the sun without even having to plug into a wall socket.
Sound too good to be true? It's not. There are already versions of solar power chargers available from multiple manufacturers, and more are on the way. The miniaturization of capacitor and solar cell
technology has reached a level where a small handheld unit that weighs a few ounces can draw enough power from sunlight to act as a fully functional cell phone battery charger.
The utility of such devices is obvious to anyone who's ever had their smartphone die on them in a park, supermarket, or restaurant. In such cases, a solar cell phone charger is the perfect cure to a flashing power bar. What's more, imagine being able to take a day trip to the lake, or spend a weekend camping in the woods, without ever worrying about where to plug in your phone.
Since the technology is still relatively new, it probably won't come as a surprise to learn that most solar phone chargers are relatively fragile. Exposed USB ports, brittle solar panels, and thin plastic cases are the rule, since most manufacturers are attempting to keep costs down in an effort to flood the market with solar phone chargers as quickly as possible.
There is one notable exception, however. A small California-based startup called SJS Direct is offering a Solar phone charger with all the features one would expect from a big name electronics company, but they've had the wisdom to wrap it in a ruggedized, world-proof shell.
It's called the Solario, and it might be the best cell phone charger currently available in the US. Not only does it allow charging from both wall sockets and direct sunlight, its waterproof, shockproof, and dustproof. It's got an integrated carrying slot, and ships with a carabineer so you can hang it on a belt, purse, or backpack. Nice afterthought.
Now that smartphone ownership is the prevailing norm, there's a strong chance that demand for solar cell phone chargers will pick up steam in the months ahead. Wise shoppers will keep their eyes peeled for the Solario it incorporates solid technology, but it does a far better job of standing up to the dings and drops of everyday life than nearly any other current offering.
