Is your mobile phone always running out of juice in the middle of an important call? Fed up with your iPod battery running out whilst you're sunning yourself on the beach? Or you're trekking through the Himalayas, relying on your tunes to keep you motivated and all of a sudden there's silence and the recharging icon is winking at your from your iPod screen?

Don't fret! solarmonkey is here and ready to provide you with power - directly from the sun! You won't even have to get off your sun lounger...

The solarmonkey can be connected directly to your phone, iPod, PDA, PSP and more, enabling you to recharge without the need for batteries or a mains power supply! The solarmonkey works via two solar panels which geneate an electric current when exposed to light, which in turn charges your device. (Please Note: The solarmonkey does NOT hold a charge.)

The solarmonkey now comes complete with a velcro strap, enabling you to attach it to a rucksack - perfect for keeping your gadgets charged whilst you're trekking up a mountain!!

Specially designed to work with the solarmonkey, the included solarnut reserves redundant solar energy so that if a sunny day turns cloudy whilst you're using your solarmonkey, charging of your device is not affected.  It will regulate the supply of power to your device, meaning yet another stress-free charge.

Solarnut can also be used as a stand alone emergency charger, providing you with up to a quarter of mobile phone power or at least 15 minutes of talktime.  To make the most of your solarnut, recharge it (via solarmonkey) at least once every 2-3 months!

And yet more good news - Did you know that the solarmonkey will also work under incandescent lights such as a table lamp - genius!
