Power Traveller Portable Power & Solar Chargers

The fantastic range of portable power and solar chargers are ready and waiting to solve all your power problems!  From the mighty powergorilla portable charger for laptops, to the powermonkey that needs no introductions, right down to the cheeky powerchimp charger for mobile phones and iPods - these products allow you to relax and enjoy your trip just that little bit more.

Rechargeable power in your pocket! Introducing - the powerchimp! A nifty little portable charger for most handheld gadgets which can also re-juice rechargeable batteries!  Use it to recharge your mobile phone, iPod/MP3, PDA, PSP and other digital devices!

Power Chimp Contents

The powerchimp works by using the two included rechargeable AA batteries to power your devices and will recharge most mobile phones once fully before the batteries in the chimp will need recharging.   We also now include two clever little adaptors that you can put two AAA rechargeable batteries (not included) into and then pop them into the powerchimp unit, so the powerchimp will run off AAA as well! 

Power CHimp With Phone

The powermonkey-classic portable charger (previously available only in silver) has hit the shelves in a range of sleek, eye-catching colours; piano-finish Black, classic Silver, deep Purple, royal Blue and hot Pink. So now your charger can be as vibrant as your Nano

Power Monkey Contents

From the heart of Africa to the Hardanger Glacier, the powermonkey-eXplorer portable charger has proved to be an invaluable piece of kit, providing essential power in the most remote locations. Incorporating the new solarmonkey solar charger, the powermonkey-eXplorer lets you charge wherever, whenever.

But powermonkey-eXplorer is not just for adventure travellers!  Compatible with the majority of mobile phones, iPods (including 2nd Gen iPhone - it's in the Made for iPod™ program), MP3 / MP4, PDAs and portable games consoles including the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS & DS-Lite, powermonkey-eXplorer is a portable charger for your devices - giving you 96 hours of standby on your mobile, 40 hours on your iPod, 5 hours on your games console, 48 hours on your PDA and 6 hours on MP3/MP4 players. 

Make sure your powermonkey-eXplorer's got full power at all times by charging one of three ways: via the solarmonkey portable solar charger, included universal mains charger or via USB.

Power Monkey Explorer

The solarmonkey draws power from the sun and coverts it into handy power! The kit now includes a useful Velcro strap, enabling the solarmonkey to be attached to a rucksack - perfect for charging your devices when you're out and about in the sun.  It can even be hung from a window, left in a car or taken anywhere the sun shines!  Make sure the powermonkey-eXplorer portable charger unit is turned OFF when re-charging from the solar slave in order to reduce charging time!  You can even use the solarmonkey solar charger to recharge your device directly - so you have back up power at all times. For example, plug the solarmonkey into the back of one of our Soundtraveller speakers and it will run your speakers from the power of the sun - no batteries needed!

Ultra compact, tough and powerful, the powermonkey-eXplorer is water resistant and made from rubberised casing so can take whatever life throws at it, yet it remains the lightest, most versatile portable charger available today.

Featuring an LCD screen that displays battery capacity and the level of charge, the powermonkey-eXplorer also has short-circuit protection, over-charging protection and anti-discharging protection. The included mains charger has interchangeable heads for UK, Europe, US and Australia - so you can use it in over 150 countries around the world!

 

Power Gorilla

The powergorilla laptop charger will give you an extra 2-5 hours of power, depending on your laptop's specification, and over 20 hours on various other electronic devices.

Power Gorilla Contents


powergorilla will work with devices up to 24volts - so from your laptop, right the way down to your mobile phone or iPod!  Just select which voltage you require; 5v, 8.4v, 9.5, 12v, 16v, 19v or 24v and the LCD screen will indicate which setting has been chosen.  Then simply hook up your gadget and away you go!  You can even daisy-chain, so whilst the powergorilla is charging your laptop, you can charge the powergorilla from the mains power supply.  Or you can charge your laptop and your mobile phone simultaneously!

Solar Gorilla

solargorilla works via two PV (photovoltaic) solar panels, which generate electric current when they are exposed to light.  The solar panels are made of glass which greatly improves the performance of the solargorilla as well as making the aesthetics of the unit better. The Red LED on the solargorilla indicates the strength of charge - the more UV intensity - the better it will work!  The technically advanced solar panels ensure superb power and reliable performance, all housed in a tough outer casing.
