Product Description
The Solar charger i101 series from iceTECH USA, is capable of charging 99% of all mobile phones or USB interface digital products (MP3/MP4 players, etc..) which have operational voltage of 3.5-5 Volts. The Solar battery itself can be charged two ways, either by using direct sunlight (8-10hrs) or by plugging it directly into an electrical outlet (3-4hrs). Once the Solar Battery is charged you may use it to charge other devices such as your cell phone or any MP3/MP4 device. It will charge them at the same time frame as your conventional charger. You can also charge your device "on the go" by plugging it into the battery and leaving the battery under direct sunlight. One hour of charging from direct sunlight provides about 1hour of mp3 playback. When charging a cell phone directly from the sun, 60 minutes of sunlight will provide approximately 25 minutes of talk time and ten hours of standby time. A fully charged SOLAR i101 will completely charge an average cell phone and many of them - even twice. Package Includes: SOLAR i101 charger, universal 12-volt wall adapter; cell phone adapter plugs (Samsung®, Motorola®, Nokia®, mini-USB), universal cable, female standard USB adapter (powers iPod®), convenient carry-on pouch with lanyard and instruction manual. *ATTN: Due to appearance of weak and potentially hazardous copies on the market, make sure to buy from our licensed vendors! (BTM, Datavision, Sears, BatteryStuff, REI, Endless Variety. Check Manufacturer's site for more.). Charger and back-up power source for mp3 / mp4 players, KEO media players, Zune, Sansa, i-Pods, etc. Dimensions: 90*40*10 mm; Weight: 100g. |

worked for awhile by Zim (Wisconsin)  3 Stars
March 06, 2010
The charger worked with my old phone (Motorola razor) but doesn't work with my iPhone. It came with a wall adaptor to pre-charge the battery contained in it but when I tried to plug it in it broke so I don't know if that function ever worked.

Solar chargers not up to it yet. by Luis Borgen  1 Stars
January 18, 2010
When "fully charged" it would only charge my Motorola Tundra for a fraction of a minute. After that, right under the sun the blue charging light would come on while it is charging my phone, but after several seconds it would turn the light off and the charging indicator of the Tundra would also go off. Unfortunately this (and ohter like it as well) are not yet as efficient to do what they claim. I'll be returning both units I have.

Let down, but really down by M. Espinar (Bs As, Argentina) 1 Stars
February 15, 2009
A friend (who purchased this item for me via Amazon.com, by the way) gave me this gadget for my birthday. To make a long story short, it does nothing it is supposed to. I am unable to charge the battery from AC or sunlight - the plugs do not fit my Nokia phone nor a friend's Samsung. All it does is to turn on a blue led when exposed to the sunlight. That is all. Either my product was sold broken, which I doubt, or it is a scam. I am really disappointed.

No complaints at all! by Akiko Matsubara (Tampa, FL)  5 Stars
November 26, 2008
Guys, I was comparing the voltage output and low-light chargingcapability of several devices on the market for my job assignment. Ido not want to put the other devices down, but I thought to leave areview of i101. It was a winner in all of my tests. Polycrystallinepanels are more effective than monocrystals. And the output of thisproduct was always very consistent. We ended up buying quite a few forour support operations. No complaints at all! I definitely recommendit for price and quality.

Seems well made but lacking in the instruction manual by Carlito 3 Stars
November 12, 2008
I purchased this at the same time I bought the Portable Hybrid Solar Charger for Blackberry, iPhone, Nokia, etc. I wanted a device that would stand up to some abuse and still work - my son is studying in India and seems to be having trouble keeping his Blackberry charged.
This unit is much better made than the other one, but has half the solar cell surfaceThe instructions are sparse - barely adequate. When charging on mains the blue led flashes brightly no matter what the charge state, which makes it hard to tell if it's fully charged. It does charge my Blackberry though the USB connector sometimes lost contact if moved. I haven't yet tried charging the phone while the unit is on solar.
Overall it's worth the money and I will send it on to India (hope it reaches him!)
