Solio Magnesium Solar Charger
Smart, durable, useful and sexy.
If you’re always on the move, love hiking, and relaxing in the sun but need to stay connected, let me introduce you to the Solio Magnesium Edition Universal Solar Hybrid Charger. This device is great for the outdoors or for anybody that uses portable devices such as GPS systems, MP3 Players, cell phones and digital cameras and just don’t have time to look for outlets and wait around while they charge. Do you really want to hang around that outlet hub in the airport where lurkers constantly come up to you asking you if they can borrow your outlet? Do you want to be that lurker?
If you’re a homebody, the Solio Magnesium Edition Universal Solar Hybrid Charger is probably not for you. A couple potential Solar Magnesium users who may appreciate a product like this:
The Beach Bums
If you’re riding your bike from Manhattan Beach to Santa Monica and back in your hipster helmet on your fixie, you’ll know you’ll have enough battery power in your cell phone to coordinate with your friends about the evening bonfire and enough battery power for your digital camera. You can even toss it in your hip beer cooler while you bake in the sun.
The Outdoorsman
Knowing that your GPS is attached to your Solio Charger during the day and you have an extra pair of batteries for the GPS at night during a long camping and hiking trip can give you peace of mind. The durability of the product is also amazing. Attach this to your backpack on those hours of trail time without fear of it losing power or malfunctioning because of the harsh cold, wet, or dry weather.
The Jetsetter
You’re out most of the day when you travel, and you’re in and out of airports. Sometimes there are outlets, sometimes there’s not. Either way you don’t want to be standing around the outlet, waiting for your cell phone to charge. And lets face it, the temporary cell phone battery extensions are pretty weak, and expensive. The last thing you want to think about during a day of sightseeing is where the next outlet is going to be. With Solio, running out of power will become a non-issue.
Solio Magnesium Edition Universal Solar Hybrid Charger also has the capability to charge using an outlet for speed. A good way to make sure you’re prepared before heading out the door.
Overall this product is solid. It’s sleek and really useful for people always on the move. It’s also durable as hell. It can withstand either sitting in the rain all day and baking outdoors and still be fully functional!
