Voltaic Generator Solar Laptop Charger Bag

The Voltaic Generator is the first solar bag powerful enough to charge a laptop

•	Solar panel generates up to 15 watts using 20% efficient cells, enough to fully charge the Voltaic battery in about 5 hours.
•	The included battery pack stores the equivalent of a typical laptop charge and automatically delivers the required output voltages
•	Common adaptors are included for connection to laptops, phones, iPhone, iPod, and other handheld devices
•	Or connect via USB or car charger (included).
•	Fabrics made from recycled PET (soda bottles), which is tough and water resistant.

Please Note: Not all Laptop Manufacturers enable charging from external batteries and our adaptors do not fit all laptops. Results may vary by model, but laptops by Apple, Dell, HP, IBM/Lenovo and Panasonic typically do charge. Brands less likely to charge include Fujitsu, Sony and Toshiba.

*To use with Macbook Pro, Macbook Air and Macbook you will need this reconfigured Apple MagSafe Adapter...click our related items tab above.

The solar panel is waterproof, scratch resistant, and UV resistant. It uses high efficiency (20%) monocrystalline cells. The panel generates up to 15 watts of power which will recharge the Voltaic battery from approximately 5 hours of direct sunlight.

600D shell made from 100% recycled PET (soda bottles). Webbing, mesh and 150D lining all made from 100% recycled PET. Aluminum frame covered in UV resistant PU. Aluminum and PU hardware. Silicon handle.

Indicator light inside the handle shows when the panels are generating a charge.

The Voltaic Generator includes a set of "Standard Adaptors and Chargers".

Adapters for most common laptops are included as well as adapters for common cell phones. The adapter set includes a car charger socket you can plug in a standard car charger and power most small consumer electronics, including phones, PDAs, cameras, MP3 players, etc.

The battery has an integrated USB socket which works with most USB chargers. For iPhones and iPods, use the included iPhone adapter connected to the DC Out Cable at 6.5-8.4V Volts.

There is also a lightweight AC travel charger, so you can still recharge the battery when not in the sun.

Please note: Apple does not allow 3rd parties to license the MagSafe plug, so this is not yet included in the standard set. To use with Macbook Pro, Macbook Air and Macbook you will need this reconfigured Apple MagSafe Adapter...click our related items tab above.

Included with every bag is a LiIon battery with 58Wh throughput. This is about the same size of a typical small laptop battery. Solar power is stored in the battery inside the bag, ready to run a laptop or other device when needed.

A USB plug on top of the battery connects to standard USB chargers. It also provides 5V output to the standard and optional phone adaptors which charge most popular cell phones.

The voltage selector on the front of the battery allows for manual selection of voltage ranges 3.5-5.0V, 5.0-6.5V, 6.5-8.4V and 12-20V (by double clicking the button). Within the voltage range, the battery automatically adjusts to deliver the required voltage.This range satisfies the requirements for most hand held electronics and laptop computers. Note: Even though the voltage may be correct, not all manufacturers enable devices to charge from external batteries.

A DC In plug on the side of the battery connects to power from the solar panels or an included AC charger.

A charge indicator on the face of the battery shows when the battery is receiving a charge. When connected to the solar panels, this will come on when the panel is placed in direct sunlight. It shows red when charging at higher power levels and green when trickle charging (either because the battery is nearly full or in cloudy conditions). There is also a battery level Indicator which shows the charge remaining in the battery.

The battery pack clips inside the bag and can be removed for separate use.

Approximate Charging Times:	Hours Direct Sunlight:
Voltaic Battery Pack (equivalent to typical notebook battery)	5-6 hours
Cell Phone	<1 Hour
Digital Camera	<1-2 Hours
GPS	<1 Hour
iPod	<1 Hour

*Charge times may be increased in cloudy weather, high temperatures, or where panels are not angled towards the sun. Note: this refers to the amount of time in the sun required to generate enough charge to fully charge the listed device. It may take longer for that charge to flow from the Voltaic battery to the device. A typical cell phone takes 2 hours to charge even from AC power, it will likely take that long for that charge to flow from the Voltaic battery to the cell phone. However one hour in the sun should be enough time to generate and store that charge in the Voltaic battery.
