| Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How much winding is required to charge a simple device for a particular playback time?
A: The amount of current it delivers depends on your cranking speed. Typical performance for a mobile phone is that if you crank at 120 rpm then one minute of winding will give you 2-4 minutes of talk time (or much more standby time), while three minutes of winding will give you 9-11 minutes of talk time. The FreeCharge 12V will nominally deliver 12V and around 400mA when cranked at 120rpm (4.8W). As speed increases, so does power output - although typically humans are not comfortable sustaining much more than about 5 Watts for more than a minute or two with their hands.
Q: What devices can be charged with the Freecharge? Can it also be used to charge devices over USB leads?
A: Almost all devices or gadgets with a car adapter for charging can be connected to the FreeCharge 12V. From cellphones to mp3 players, as long as you have the appropriate adapter, you can use the FreeCharge to power up your devices.
Q: Can I make a call while charging my phone with the FreeCharge?
A: Yes, though with some cellular phones, including those that have batteries with a very low charge, it may take a minute or two of charge time to build enough power in the battery to sustain a call. Note however that when cranking the FreeCharge while connected to your mobile phone, it may possibly affect your phone reception.
Q: Can the Freecharge 12v power a laptop?
A: Unfortunately, it would not work as too much power would be required.
