Now that the weather is warmer, the sun is hotter and more days will be spent outside, the SunJack solar charger will prove to have a comfortable spot in your day-to-day life.

 

SunJack power primers can be used to charge any USB-powered device including laptops, smartphones, cameras and any of the many 21st-century gadgets you have. Five hours of sunlight is all you need to fully charge the SunJack battery, and it can live through 1,000 cycles of charge and discharge. And when you’ve worn them out, you can return them to SunJack for recycling and receive credit on a replacement.
