If you’ve ever had an iPod run out of battery in the middle of a long flight you know the importance of having back up power. I think the Solio hybrid charger is a great solution for travelers because it’s small, eco-friendly, relatively inexpensive and can be charged in a wall outlet or by solar panels. Whether you are on a back country hike, laying on a beach or in a city, you can get the power you need. It takes about 4 hours plugged in or 8-10 hours in the sun to fully charge. Not only will it work with iPods, but you can also use it for cell phones, cameras and portable video game systems.
