Solar Powered Backpack!
click here to buy
This Backpack is a portable power source,
designed to charge your gadgets without
tying you to a power outlet.
Just plug a standard car charger into the bag
and recharge most small electronic devices including:
cell phones, cameras, two way radios, PDA's, even iPods.
Note: it is not designed to charge laptops.
If you don't have a car charger, the bag comes
with a set of standard adaptors for common cell
phones and other devices. We also offer a full range
of optional adaptors.
Embedded in the back of the bag are three lightweight,
tough, waterproof solar panels which generate up to
4 watts of power. This means quicker charge times!
Inside the bag is a Li Ion battery pack which stores any
surplus power generated, so it is available when you need it,
not just when the sun is up. The battery pack can also be
charged using an AC travel charger or car charger
(both included). This makes the Voltaic™ backpack
just as useful on the grid as off.
Bag
The Voltaic™ backpack is specifically designed for
electronics.
There are pockets for all of your devices including an
adjustable phone / MP3 pouch on the shoulder strap,
a second MP3 pouch inside the bag, and an optional
padded laptop sleeve. There is also a bladder pouch.
Wires run through hidden channels inside the bag to
take power to various pockets, even to the pouch on
the shoulder strap. You can also run headphones
through these channels to the shoulder strap.
The bag is made from tough, UV resistant, 840D
nylon and padded with high density foam. It weighs
only 3.5lbs, including the solar panels and the battery
pack, and has a capacity of approximately
1,650 cubic inches (27 Litres).
A light on the side pouch indicates when the panels are
generating a charge, and is visible while wearing the bag.
The battery pack clips inside the back pocket of the
Voltaic™ backpack and allows it to function as a mobile
power reservoir, not just a solar charger.
Inside the battery pack is a 2,200mAh Li Ion battery,
it includes: a voltage converter with three settings 5, 6
and 7.2 Volts, a charge indicator, and a built in LED torch.

Adaptors/Chargers
The Voltaic™ backpack comes with a set of standard
adaptors pictured here. To charge a device you can
use a standard car charger, or a USB charger. There
are also direct adaptors for popular cell phones, and
a set of universal adaptors.
It also includes an AC travel charger and a car charger
for charging the battery when solar charging is not
practical.
In addition to these standard items, we offer a range
of optional adaptors for, cell phones, cameras, PDA's etc.
Solar Panels
Integrating the solar panels into the back pocket of the
bag is a key (patent pending) innovation of the Voltaic™
backpack. It means that unlike a typical solar charger:
There is no need to unpack and setup the panels,
There is no need to stay in one place, and all of your
devices can stay securely inside the bag.
The panels are built into the back of the bag in a way
that allows them to articulate, so the bag itself does not
feel stiff or restrictive.
They generate up to 4 watts of power, enough to charge
most portable electronics (other than laptops). A typical
cell phone will take 4-6 hours to charge in direct sun,
see approximate charging times.
The panels are built on a strong, but light weight,
aluminum plastic composite, specifically selected to
withstand the rigors of outdoor use.
