ENERPLEX SURFR SOLAR-PANELLED CHARGER

PRICE US$80

INFO Battery cases used to be a lifesaver for travellers constantly on the move. By encasing their mobile phones in a battery case, it could provide their devices with juice for days. However, Enerplex is taking this one step further with its environmentally friendly solar-panelled charger. Users are able to recharge the case by plugging it into wall, or via the solar panel. (A full solar charge takes 24 to 34 hours).
