If you haven’t heard of Powertraveller portable chargers, you’re not alone. I didn’t know much about the company before visiting their booth at the 2013 Outdoor Retailer Summer Market. Turns out, I’ve been missing the boat. “Green” is the new black, and Powertraveller is one of the brands leading the charge in the solar power revolution. With everything from military-grade laptop chargers to waterproof solar panels, Powertraveller is sure to have something to help juice up your next trip.
The Powermonkey Extreme is one of the flagship products by Powertraveller, and this year it gets some serious upgrades. It houses a 9000mAh capacity lithium polymer battery and can charge anything from your cellphone to a SLR camera. The solar panels are configured in a clamshell design, and after a full day (18+ hours) in the sun, the unit is ready to boost your volts. Don’t be afraid to pack it on your next aqua-adventure; the Powermonkey Extreme is shock resistant and waterproof up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
Powertraveller offers energy solutions for everyone from the hardcore outdoorsperson to the office worker. Their gear has been tested everywhere from the Sahara Desert to Mount Everest, and charged just about every piece of gadgetry out there. If you are looking to go green but still haven’t decided on what charger best fits your adventure style, you might want to check out Powertraveller. They could be the best solar company you never heard of…until now.
