    Hi Guys,

    Anyone know where sells these or can anyone recommend a brand? festival season coming up and the one pain in the arse is getting an iphone charged.

    On a side note can anyone recommend a small but powerful battery operated speaker?

    cheers :)

    Have a look in Base Camp on Middle Abbey Street. They have the FreeLoader Pro in the window. I have just passed by.

    I have a more basic version and it works great with plenty of adapters supplied to charge different gadgets.

    I got one of these http://www.mophie.com/mophie-juice-pack-air-iPhone-4-4s-battery-case-p/1145_jpa-ip4-blk.htm for camping while I was at the Euros. There is also the "plus" version that has an even bigger battery.

    In essence it doubled my battery, I just slipped my phone into the charging case to top it up when I was sleeping. I'm not sure how powerful these solar chargers may be but the battery/case type of product could be handier as it would mean that you wouldnt have to sit outside a tent during the questionable irish weather to get your phone topped up!

    I would have to agree with the above post, don't buy a solar charger.

    They'll charge your iPhone but only by a few percent. Plus in Ireland we're lucky to get a half an hour of sun,

    Try looking up some battery extenders mentioned above, they are much more reliable.

    Some Reviews for you :)
