Solio Solio Hybrid 1000 Charger - 2007

See that bright yellow orb up in the sky? It's not just for growing flowers and burning your skin. The Solio Hybrid 1000 Charger lets you use that flaming sphere to power your iPod, phone, or GPS when you're away from a wall socket. This charger takes power from the sun or the USB port of your computer and stores the energy inside its internal battery. All you have to do is plug in your electronic gadgetry, and bam—recharged. A full charge will typically power a mobile phone once or give 10 hours of MP3 music playback (rates may vary). Solio included adapter tips so you can power all sorts of electronics such as digital cameras, iPhones, Bluetooth headsets, game players, and GPSs.

Bottom Line: Use anywhere, anytime, for nearly any type of small electronic.

It doesn't have that exact adapter but you can purchase it from their web site. It does give info on how to use with your SGH device.

I went camping last week and completely depleted my ipod...what a drag!! But a friend of mine let me use his solio H1000 and I could hardly believe it but it did the trick...I was completely charged up and ready to go in about 1 hour.
This product has won me over.
Happy hiking.

the LCD viewscreen on digi cameras eats quite a bit of power. Most people are suprised at how long the cam goes if you turn of the screen.

Ulrike - Refer to my answer for Zgedeon. The same situation will apply to you and that is how you could get around your problem.

Unless your camera has a dc imput you cannot. However if you do, then you would be able to charge your camera, however you should know that cameras have the greatest power draw of most personal electronics, this means that you will be spending more time waiting for the camera to charge while taking fewer pics. If you can look into other solutions.

Unless your camera has a plug in it, no.

Never charged

By:
June 18, 2009

I tried to use this to keep juice in my phone on my Appalachian Trail thru-hike, and never once got a charge. The only way it will get a charge is if it sits in the sun, without moving, all day. I clipped it to my pack, rigged it so that it would sit on top, and tried 5 other positions to get it to charge while hiking, but I was just ducking under trees too much for the sun to actually hit it enough to charge. Left it on my pack for 2 weeks before I sent it home, and never more than 20% charged. It was a shame, I really wanted it to work.

However, if you go camping, you can just leave it at your campsite to charge while you venture through the woods or mountains so you have power when you get back.

I dont think the D60 has a dc input. since you are using removable rechargable batteries I would into a set-up like this:Brunto solar panel and any 12v inverter (can be bought at almost every electroncis store). You can plug the inverter in to the panal and charge your stuff up. Leave it at your camp while you are out with your camera shooting. You will need at least 1-2 extra batteries. But this set-up would be perfect.

Hybrid Charger

By:
May 14, 2009

I have only used this on one weekend camping trip but it did the job. I brought it out with a full charge from my laptop and used it to recharge my blackberry (which we were also using for music). Worked like a charm. Then the next day I recharged it in the sun. The only annoying thing about it is you have to chase the sun in order to get a decent charge. A little bit of shade and it won't recharge well. I guess if you are in an open area this wouldn't be a problem but if you are in the middle of the woods it is.

Will this product charge the, "Hydro Photon SteriPEN Adventurer

Will this product charge the, "Hydro Photon SteriPEN Adventurer Handheld Ultraviolet Water Purifier," as opposed to purchasing the, "Hydro Photon SteriPEN Solar Charging Case," that takes 2-5 days to charge? If it does, then about how long would it take to charge SteriPEN?

It will charge your steripen in about 3 to 4 hrs. The key to faster charging is how much the big yellow ball is shining.

Why not?

By:

This is a very cool device. If you are tech savvy when hiking then you will want one of these. It seems essential for any tech-hiking nut. However, you might want to leave it home if you are going to where you will not be getting cell phone signal and want to save weight.

Not out of the box. They have tons and tons of adapters that you can buy at the Solio website for $10. However, it has a male to female USB converter which means if you can charge your phone via USB you can just plug that cable into it.

I got to try this as a tester last year. It is great with the built in biner, and it comes in handy when you need some power for the ipod or cell phone. It will clip from your pack and you can charge as you are hiking. For those weight counters out there, this is one of the lightest and best options out there. Not only charges from the sun, but stores it until you need it.
