Small, portable solar panels are capable of recharging a vehicle's battery via trickle charging. Trickle charging is one of the most gentle methods used to recharge a battery because of the slow speed at which it rebuilds the charge. Trickle charging is meant to keep the battery fully charged when the vehicle is not running. It compensates for the small electronic drains that occur even when the car is parked.
The two fundamental questions that need to be answered when considering
using solar power for cell phone charging are:
Do I have a way to connect my cell phone to the solar panel or solar power source?
Does the solar panel or solar power source provide enough power to charge my cell phone's battery?
What is the easiest way to connect my cell phone to the solar panel or solar power source?
The easiest way to connect a cell phone to a solar panel is by using a Cigarette Lighter Adapter (CLA)
specific to your cell phone model. All of the Sunlinq Folding Solar Panels
come with a female CLA cable. So if you have a male CLA that works with your cell phone,
you will be able to quickly connect to these solar panels to recharge your battery.
All of our solar charging products that come with adapter tips will list the specific cell
phone models for which the tip can be used.
For the Pocket Solar Cell Phone Charger
that list includes many models of Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson,
and Motorola RAZR cell phones. A great solar cell phone charger solar panel is the Sunlinq USB mini Solar Cell Phone Charging Panel
The general rule of thumb for determining how powerful a solar panel you need for recharging your cell phone or small electronics
is based on how many features the product contains. The more of these newer add-on features, like web browsing,
built-in camera, music player, etc., your cell phone or product has, the more powerful the battery must be, and thus, t
he more powerful the solar panel needs to be in order to recharge it.
The Sunlinq USB Plus 800 mAmp 5V Solar Panel Charger is a
compact and rechargeable solar panel that is ideal for quickly charging your USB devices from the power of the sun.
